The 1960s and 1970s were the heroic age of the architectural "little magazine". During this period even commercial periodicals were willing to include theoretical discourse as they catered to a profession confronted by radical social change. These essays by nine international architectural scholars are from the Proceedings of the International Colloquium held in 2004 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture. They enrich our understanding of a format which monopolized the space for professional debate about what mattered most in architecture at the time. These contributions give architectural periodicals a central place in the historical debates on the period with particular emphasis on material production, intellectual contribution, and critical reception. Contributors: France Vanlaethem, Juliana Maxim, John T. Schlinke, Louis Martin, Catherine Blain, Inderbir Singh Riar, Mary Lou Lobsinger, Paolo Scrivano and Hélène Jannière. Six essays in English and three essays in French with a bilingual introduction.
