An Assemblage
For a course focusing on architecture writing and knowledge at the Architectural Association, I collated and reframed each of four assigned short essays according to the architectural publication for which the text is best suited. Rather than re-writing the essays, the I have re-framed them, altered their graphic rhetoric rather than their content. The entire collection takes the layout of Assemblage, the potent journal of American architecture theory from the 1990s, beginning with a foreward, and introductory text for each essay in turn.
In the manner of Volume magazine, the Urban China bootleg issue designed by Glen Cummings of MTWTF.
In the manner of AA Files, after the redesign effected by Ed. Tom Weaver. Here, the title plays on an essay in AA Files by Reinhold Martin.
The layout of Log, a journal that is no stranger to Durand.
Finally, after ANY, designed by 2x4 in the late 1990s, a journal as unafraid of Tafuri as it was of typeface camouflage.
