Writingplace Journal for Architecture and Literature 3

The new magazine Writingplace Journal for Architecture and Literature is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal on architecture and literature. This journal is a vehicle for the Writingplace platform to continue its exploration of the productive relationship between architecture and literature – a quest that already resulted in the publication of Writingplace: Investigations in Architecture and Literature in 2016.

Each issue of the series focuses on themes central to the productive relationship between architecture and literature. The journal’s content ranges from pedagogy to spatial analysis and from critical theory to artistic practices, architecture, landscape and urban design.

The third issue, Reading(s) and Writing(s), focuses on the complex process of writing itself, and in particular on the question of reading and reviewing works in progress. It aims to offer an insight into the production of architectural writing by looking behind the scenes of a ‘text-in-progress’ by considering the position, perspective and voice of the author, and the nature of the act of reading.
