Quaderns 270 - Europa, Europa

In its new format, each issue of ‘Quaderns’ is supervised by an assigned team of directors. Moisés Puente, architect and curator of the seminars ‘Europa Europa’ and ‘Absolutamente moder(rr)nos’, held at the Architects’ Association of Catalonia (COAC), is this edition’s guest editor. Quaderns―the journal of the Architects' Association of Catalonia―has been, throughout the last decades, a reference in the field of architectural publications [2005 Jean Tschumi Prize for Architecture Criticism of the International Union of Architects (UIA)]. Since this Spring 2018, the magazine we’ll open a new stage in its career with a new direction, new format and new design led by Bendita Gloria, a multi-awarded design studio from Barcelona. In this new period, the intersections and affinities with other disciplines―art, dance, food or urban anthropology―will be explored in order to gain a more profound understanding of the practice and theory of architecture and rearticulate its disciplinary limits. Published twice a year―in separate editions of both english and catalan languages―, each Quaderns will provide a rigorous investigation of a specific theme, and insisting on the discussion of the historical and theoretical aspects of contemporary issues. With De Vylder, Kersten Geers, Bruther and others.
