suggestions on where to track down those elusive architecture zines.

In terms of places to sources zines, in my experience these are quite few and far between; the world of architecture zines being a bit of a niche of a niche. As you know from the (already) out of date Archizines website, many zines are short-lived with small print-runs, which somewhat compounds the issue. However, although it's been a few years since I was last in London I might suggest checking out the ICA bookshop and Beach. They're generally more art focused than explicitly architecture focused, but I find there is sometimes overlap between the two fields. Plus, it may be positive to take a relatively broad view of what constitutes an architecture zine. For example, some of the most architectural publications I can think of are not strictly speaking about research/construction. Chris Ware's Building Stories is a good example of what I mean here.

Also might be a good idea to keep an eye out for London zine fairs. As most zines obviously don't end up in book shops, these events are a great way to source new and existing titles.

By and large though, I find most zine stockists operate online. In terms of UK-based outlets, La Biblioteka is a good one, located in Sheffield. Mzin is based in Germany but has a broad collection. Books Places People is a another German crowd, but again with a really great range of publications.

Otherwise, I find the best way to source zines is through the publisher themselves. Cafe Royal, for example, has an extensive online shop worth checking out (they generally do photobooks, but have strong architectural subject matter).

Other than that, the best method is to simply try and track down individual titles, perhaps using the Archizines site as a starting point, asking others for suggestions or recommendations. Can sometimes feel a bit like a needle in a haystack scenario, but there are guaranteed gems out there.

Anyway, not sure the above will be of any use to you at all, but hopefully it may be of some help.

I do, however, have a few copies of 2ha available here (which should be of more practical use to your zine collection). Could you please let me know how I should address these exactly and I can send them out later today.

Best,

Michael

This sounds great! We could do some kind of announcement at the start of the 2nd and 3rd year launches? Working with the Westminster Architecture Society can be tricky as apart from a few key figures I’m never that sure who they are! Perhaps this could be start of something more concrete- I think it could be very interesting.

We also have a ‘playweek’ in week 8 where tutors pitch alternative short projects (non-assessed)- a good opportunity perhaps to do something?

Best wishes

Julian

history of zines in architecture

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Alternative publishing in architecture has had a long and varied history, with two periods of prolific output, both of which have been documented in recent exhibitions: A Few Zines: Dispatches from the Edge of Architectural Production (2009) explores architectural zines of the nineties and their mixing of writings on the city with music, art and pop culture in general; Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines (2010) focused on this phenomenon in the sixties and the seventies. These zines were an alternative to the academic journals or trade magazines of the profession, whilst some provided space for the amateur and the non-professional, others were produced by specialists as an outlet for highly specific topics and interests. Recently, blogs and other forms of output on the internet have become a more popular means of for disseminating such information, although the self-publishing, yet they have not necessarily been replaced zines. As most fans of such publications are quick to point out, there is an 'object-ness' to these cheaply printed, stapled, DIY magazines that a blog cannot quite replace.

The motivations for alternative publishing are as diverse as the output itself, often they were terribly self-serving such as those produced by , whilst others were highly political and part of a wider practice, for example ARse (1969-1972) was by Tom Woolley and Peter Wild with their students at the Architectural Association. The acronym of the title changed meaning many times from "Architects for a Really Socialist Environment," or "Architectural Radicals, Students & Educators", the AR alluding to the mainstream journal Architectural Review. The zine was produced alongside theircommunity technical aid centre, Support, which provided architectural services to neighbourhood groups. Printed cheaply in black, white and red, ARse was a resolutely left-wing publication that set out to critique the architectural profession's complicity in capitalist society.

Zines such as Utopie (1967-1978) were research projects in their own right, produced by an editorial collective that included architects, urbanists and sociologists, whose core members were Isabelle Auriscoste, Jean Baudrillard, Michelle Guillou and Hubert Tonka. Utopie as a group came together in 1966 at Henri Lefebvre's ouse in the Pyrenees and his influence is felt throughout the seven issues that were produced, including theoretical texts and collages that speculated on a new practice of architecture that attended to everyday life. The collaborative nature of the publication was reflected in its format with a column reserved for comments. Alongside the publication, Utopie also produced exhibitions, pamphlets and organised related events.

Other DIY publications such as glaspaper (2001-2007) aimed at taking the discussion around architecture and the built environment to those who would not normally have access to it. G.L.A.S was a collective of architecture students, teachers and designers, who produced a total of eight thematic issues on topics such as 'learning and education' and 'transport and movement'.

Whether in the form of zines, blogs or pamphlets alternative publishing is a means of bypassing the mainstream publishing industry. Instead, niche interests can be catered for and distribution networks created through personal contacts and overlapping interests. At a time when both the architectural profession and academia are dominated by a few big names, alternative publishing offers a way out of the homogenised discourse, offering space for a multitude of voices.

i'm not sure how to make this open for us to collaborate but i can make us a group gmail email and create a new library thing account for the project?

For now, my two favourite books:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zine-Building-Winning-Collection-Library/dp/0838908861 (this title is useful for all aspects of a zine collection, especially outreach events)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Notes-Underground-Alternative-Microcosm-Publishing/dp/1934620378/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1468919703&sr=1-6&keywords=zines This is a great book
