Description
An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate.Clip/Stamp/Fold takes stock of 70 little magazines from this period that were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early 20th century to designate progressive literary journals, the term little magazine was remobilised during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. The terms little and magazine are not taken at face value.
In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip/Stamp/Fold includes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced moments of littleness, influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.
Customer Reviews
Peter Murray
Date Reviewed: November 2011
This is a splendid book, lovingly collated by Beatriz Colomina and Craig Buckley. As the publisher of Megascope and Clip kit magazines, as well as Technical Editor of AD, which are all featured in this crafted tome, I can vouch for the seriousness and accuracy of research. But in addition to this, the book captures the excitement of publishing as an agent of change. All these magazines had a voice and it is instructive to look back at the impact some of them have had over the intervening years, and indeed still have.
