Africa : New Architecture Journal to be launched in South Africa



Statement of Intent : Architecture Africa Journal - Regional Criticism

The journal will encompass work from regions across the African continent - from the southern shores of the Mediterranean down to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost reach of our vast landmass. The publication will be edited by an editorial collective which will operate in collaboration with guest editors and local individuals up and down the continent. For logistic reasons, the collective will be based in Johannesburg, South Africa. While we have more frequent appearances in mind, the journal will initially be published in alternate months.
