San Rocco
Issue 05: Scary Architects
Edited by Matteo Ghidoni
176 pages, Softcover, 230 x 170mm, English
If your definition of an architecture magazine is that it should deliver the latest, glossy, hi-res images of the latest crazy buildings around the world, San Rocco is definitely not for you. This one is about heavy thinking and theory and San Rocco unashamedly celebrates this fact: in strict black and white, without almost any imagery at all, your mind can focus on the texts – which is necessary, because contributions range from the straightforward to the very complex and back again. Published twice a year with topics like “Mistakes,” “Scary Architects,” and “Innocence,” its 200 pages ensure you’ll hardly be finished with one issue before the next one comes out... and thanks to its handy size you can always carry the latest San Rocco around with you – for whenever your brain gets hungry.

CLOG: RENDERING
August 2012
Edited by Kyle May, Julia van den Hout, Jacob Reidel, Archie Lee Coates IV, Jeff Franklin
160 pages, Softcover, 215 x 140mm, English
For those of us who see more sexy architecture online than in person, renderings of buildings have become a standard form of architectural documentation alongside the photograph. The catch, of course, is that the rendered image often documents the building before it is built, or serves as a stand-in for something that never will be. In the always-impressive CLOG magazine’s August 2012 issue “Rendering,” the title topic is rendered in full and from every angle: from pre-computer “renderings” like Mies van der Rohe’s drawings of his unbuilt Friedrichstrasse skyscraper, to an interview with renowned renderers at Luxigon and MIR, CLOG’s multifaceted take on the rendered image unfolds in a beautifully-planned issue of bite-size texts punctuated by fascinating infographics and, of course, plenty of renderings.
