Berliner Hefte zu Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt

Unter dem Druck des Ereignishaften entstehen blinde Flecken, alternative Sichtweisen und Erzählungen bleiben verborgen, Texte und Bilder unveröffentlicht, das Verschwinden von Orten undokumentiert.

Die Berliner Hefte zu Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt sind eine fortlaufende Reihe kleiner Publikationen, die künstlerische, essayistische und aktivistische Praxen miteinander verbinden. Die Hefte thematisieren die sozialen, kulturellen und ökonomischen Veränderungen in Berlin und anderen Städten, und greifen in die stadtpolitischen Debatten sowohl historisch reflektierend wie aktuell informierend ein. Die Berliner Hefte verstehen sich als ein Produktionszusammenhang, der unterschiedlichen Autorinnen und Herausgeberinnen offensteht und das analoge und digitale Publizieren in Veranstaltungs- und Ausstellungsformate einbezieht.

Faktur

Faktur: Documents and Architecture, a journal that celebrates research as the source of architectural imagination.

Faktur responds to the concerns of an emerging generation of architects, and aims to bridge the distance between practice and academic scholarship.

Faktur offers just that: a platform for scholars and designers to publish their research, together with the projects, buildings, objects, exhibitions, photographs, etc. associated with or emerging therefrom. Faktur refers to the German term for a concept central to the Russian avant-garde of the early twentieth century, whereby the technical, economic, and social processes involved in the production of an object would be made legible in its final, material form.

Faktur is interested in new and innovative methods for presenting and discussing architecture that understand academic and non-academic research as a crucial precondition to developing critical, contemporary projects. We seek to present topics, locations, and architectural concerns that function as micro-narratives that illuminate larger issues of global culture. We are interested in the construction of material arguments from local perspectives, linking them to long-durée historical threads within architecture on the one hand, and current political, economic, and cultural concerns on the other. Finally, we are interested in how these investigations affect, inform, or influence the design processes of contemporary architectural practices.
