An accompanying catalogue published by Bedford Press and featuring not only profiles of all 60 archizines but essays from a number of their editors will be launched at the opening.

GENERALIST in Archi Zines Collection

ARCHI ZINES is a showcase of new fanzines, journals and magazines from around the world that provide an alternative discourse to the established architectural press. Launched by Elias Redstone, with art direction by Folch Studio, the project celebrates and promotes publishing as an arena for architectural commentary, criticism and research, and as a creative platform for new photography, illustration and design.

Alternative and independent publishing has had a dynamic and important relationship with architecture over the years, with prolific moments in the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s. A recent resurgence has seen new titles emerging in many countries, from Argentina, Belgium and Chile to the UK and USA. ARCHI ZINES brings together this international collection of publications for the first time as an important resource for architects, designers, critics, photographers and anyone interested in discussing the buildings and spaces we inhabit.

ARCHI ZINES is an expanding archive of the best publications from 2000s to the latest releases, and is growing as new titles and issues are acquired... read more

Review on our latest Issue "Saving | Sparen"
at BaunetzWoche No. 213


Florian Heilmeyer writes (sorry, in German only):
"Genau! Sehr gut! Sparen, nicht Ver- zichten, das soll unsere Reaktion auf die Krise sein. Genauer: „Sparen ist das planvolle Aufbewahren von Werten mit dem Ziel der Anhäufung“, erklärt uns die Redaktion des Genera- listen zum Thema des neuen Heftes. „Im Sinne von ‚auf etwas sparen‘ oder ‚ansparen' ist diese Handlung nicht auf gegenwärtigen Verzicht, sondern auf zukünftigen Mehrwert oder auf Sicherheit ausgerichtet.“ (...)"

Derzeit ist er Künstlerischer Direktor für das Themenfeld Stadt der Möglichkeiten im Rahmen der Europäischen Kulturhauptstadt RUHR.2010 und Vorsitzender des Immobilienunternehmens THS.

Mit seinem Architekturbüro Petzinka Pink Technologische Architektur hat er ebenso viele Preise für seine Bauten gewonnen – wie auch für kontroverse Diskussionen gesorgt. Wir möchten wissen, ob er noch immer Geweihe als Fassadendekor für richtig hält und was gerade jetzt für ihn von besonderer Relevanz bei all seinen zahlreichen Unternehmungen ist.

Die Veranstaltung findet

After the 2008 real estate crisis and the 2009 financial crisis, after scores of governmental aid packages for private-sector businesses, after Greece’s quasi-bankruptcy, and beneath the Damocles sword of devaluation experienced by some EU countries as their ratings fell from triple-A to double-A, the economic developments have recently shown a political reaction: Shortly before the start of the collective World Cup frenzy, the government has gotten the so-called austerity package on its way.

Never before was the German national debt as high as it is now. That’s a statement whose significance—in light of whirling-Dervish-like spiraling debt—will likely already be outdated and replaced by the end of this sentence, but certainly by the end of this text. In its 2010/2 issue titled Saving, GENERALIST wants to deal with a constraint that now seems relevant—not only in regard to the energy industry, but also on a societal level.

dsc_0011We proudly present our NEW Issue!
Yes we do – and we are happy!

The 4th GENERALIST is about
"USE & HABIT"

What happens to the architecture after it has left the architect's office, when the tradesmen are gone, when the photographers have completed their task? What happens to the architecture when it is handed over to its true destiny – when, to put it quite simply, it is used? And furthermore: Wouldn't it clarify questions about the sense and senselessness of architecture – within the time frame in which the theses put forth as part of the design are proven to be correct, incorrect, or inconsequential?

The issue GENERALIST ‘Use and Habit’ tries to approach this interdependency on a phenomenological level. We collected stories: stories about the use of spaces and the habits reflected in them; about the non-physical transformation of architecture in the utilization process.

IN GENERAL

The live-interview series is going on: Björn Hekmati and Adeline Seidel have Prof. Manfred Hegger as their guest.


12. November 2009 || 19 pm at Central Station Darmstadt


This wintersemester GENERALIST welcomes you to IN GENERAL again: the live-interview series that portraits one personalty.


Manfred Hegger is a well-known member of the Faculty of Architecture at the TU Darmstadt, holding the chair of Architecture & Energy Efficiency. A few days ago he and a team of his staff and students of Darmstadt's architecture Department won the Solar-Decathlon for the second time. It is is almost impossible not to come across his name when engaging with architecture and sustainability – but what is driving him beside his work at the university? What are the topics that interest him most? What are his points of view - and what were his most formative experiences?


The interview is part of the Sichten13 program - the yearly exhibition of the architecture faculty TU Darmstadt.

IN GENERAL

Die Live - Interviewreihe
von Generalisten - Magazin für Architektur

In diesem Sommer möchte GENERALIST herzlich zu einem neuen Format einladen: dem Live-Interview. In diesem Rahmen wird jeweils eine Persönlichkeit portraitiert. Als Auftakt im Sommersemester 2009 haben wir Günter Pfeifer und Ariel Auslender ausgewählt. Ihre Lehre im Haus ist bekannt – aber was treiben die beiden eigentlich neben dem Schaffen in der Universität? Mit welchen Themen beschäftigen sie sich, wenn sie nicht lehren? Was sind Ihre Haltungen und Erlebnisse, die sie prägten? Das Live-Interview wird die beiden Professoren so vorstellen, wie man sie im Alltag auf der Lichtwiese nicht immer erleben kann.

Günter Pfeifer
Mittwoch, 27. Mai 2009 um 18.00 Uhr

Ariel Auslender
Mittwoch, 22. Juli 2009 um 18.00 Uhr
+ Launch Generalist 01
