Forum
Forum is an independent, non-commercial magazine about architecture and related disciplines, with a history dating back to 1883. Forum is published by the Architectura et Amicitia association. Every five years, the magazine undergoes a complete overhaul: the theme, the design, the editorial team.
What Can We Do?
We find ourselves in a period of accumulating crises. Now is the time for action. How can we, as architects, urban planners and landscape architects, respond to the major challenges we face?
The theme of the upcoming series is What Can We Do, with each issue focusing on a specific crisis and drawing on our professional expertise to gather different perspectives on the subject. The theme of the first issue is Inequality.
The magazine’s target audience is architects, supplemented by landscape architects, urban planners, students, and others. The print run is 1,500 copies.
The editorial team for this series consists of Inara Nevyaska, Hans Teerds, Frank Hanswijk, Lieke Jildou de Jong, and Zico Lopes. Lisa van der Slot is the editor-in-chief. The editorial team and authors work on a voluntary basis. In the tradition of Forum, we work with progressive graphic designers to produce a contemporary and topical magazine about architecture, and this series in particular also focuses on urban planning and landscape architecture.
This first issue includes a conversation between Maike van Stiphout and Lieke Jildou de Jong, and projects by Urban Synergy, the Urbanists and Mien Ruys. There is also an interesting essay by Kees Klomp on Ecoliberalism and a photo series by Frank Hanswijk that calls for “more equal treatment of nature”.
Would you like to become a sponsor of Forum?
The Forum magazine is largely funded by AetA members, but also relies on other sources of funding and individual sales. One of our sources of income is sponsorship from (landscape) architectural firms. In exchange for an annual fee, you receive a number of Forum issues for your team. You will also receive an invitation to a discussion evening. Each issue will feature your firm’s logo and you will receive an invitation to The Dinner. These take place (approximately) two months after publication: after you have had a chance to read the issue. These evenings are devoted to discussion and substantive reflection on the most recent issue. An evening of conversation for donors and contributors to the issue.
Two issues are published per year, for a total of ten editions in this five-year series. The following options are available:
- Medium: £200 per issue: three copies of each issue, name mentioned in Forum, invitation to meeting.
- Large: £300 per issue: 5 copies of each issue, name mentioned in Forum, invitation to meeting.
- Extra Large: £500 per issue: 10 copies of each issue, name mentioned in Forum, invitation to meeting.
You can register to contribute to the upcoming series by sending a message to penningmeester@aeta.nl. You will then receive more information and a request to send your company logo.
