Mapping the Discourse. Architecture Periodicals in/for the Teaching of Architecture History by Gaia Caramellino, Valeria Casali, Nicole De Togni

“…Moving from the teaching seminar offered over the past six years to internationals students at Politecnico di Milano in the framework of the History and Theory course, the pedagogical project intersects the growing attention for the relations between architecture and media, and the current debate on the history of architecture as a transnational practice.A corpus of around fifty periodicals published in eighteen different countries was addressed as a “system of knowledge” and a “global printed network”, overcoming monographic and local-centered readings based on the history of isolated journals or linked to national editorial cultures and narratives. Journals were examined in their interrelations and interconnections through comparative and cross-cultural analyses, crossing diverse architectural geographies, to trace the international circulation of knowledge.Crossing two divergent research attitudes codified by architectural historians, who tended to look at magazines as structuring sources for writing history or, alternatively, as objects of inquiry over the past decades, journals are critically examined as complex objects, investigated in their economic, material, cultural, visual, and graphic dimensions. …”
