Project Description

This project was developed as part of an academic editorial design studio and focuses on the conception and graphic development of a magazine dedicated to architecture, culture, and the city. The exercise explored how editorial structure, typography, layout, and visual hierarchy can be used to frame architectural ideas and long-form cultural content.

The project involved defining the editorial logic, visual language, and layout system for interviews, essays, and visual material. Although the magazine was not published, the work emphasizes editorial thinking, narrative construction, and design as tools for communicating architectural and urban discourse.
