Talking Cities Magazine – OUT NOW!

Communicating the complex architectural and design practices to a wide audience is one of the main goals of the project: hence the production of an affordable magazine that tackles the issues in a direct manner, through statements and manifestos by the protagonists themselves. The Chapters in the magazine focus the exhibition’s issues with additional contributors. Themes include: Fragmented Cityscapes; Re-thinking Modernism’s megavisions; Re-engaging contested spaces; Balkanisation; Micro-topias; DesignItYourself.

With Essays by Simon Sadler (Los Angeles) on ‘Guerilla Architecture’; Susanne Hauser (Graz) on ‘An-Aesthetics’; Peter Lewis (London) on ‘Evacuated Fields’; Valéry Didelon (Paris) on ‘Architecture on the Edge’; Srdjan Weiss (New York) on ‘Balkanisation’; Bjarke Ingels (Kopenhagen) on ‚Pragmatic Utopias’ a.o.

The Magazine has been designed by ITF Grafik Design based in Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart. Founded by Tim Reuscher, Claudia Kahl, Till Sperrle and Axel Pfaender in Berlin in 2003, ITF works for publishers, cultural institutions, magazines, shops, multinational companies and artists. www.itfgrafikdesign.com
