“Twenty-volume folios will never make a revolution. It’s the little pocket pamphlets that are to be feared.”
- Voltaire
 

This elective course will survey independent architecture publications. In particular we will focus on self-publishing and non-commercial initiatives, often in the form of pamphlets, zines, and broadsheets. “Architecture Imprints” will focus on the role of these publications in architecture culture and how they produce a voice for the architect and shift the discipline. Despite the contemporary dominance of the internet as a media source, publications continue to be an important and radical resource of disciplinary (sub)culture.

The course will be split between critical reflections on current publications and conceptualization and production of a new publication. We will have readings, in-class discussions, short writing reflections, and in-class presentations. Students will work in small editorial teams to produce a publication as a final project.
