SCAPEGOAT: Architecture | Landscape | Political Economy, a new journal founded by faculty and graduates of Daniels in 2010, will be featured in the exhibition ARCHIZINES in the Members Gallery at the Architectural Association in London November 5 - December 14.
 
ARCHIZINES celebrates and promotes the recent resurgence of alternative and independent architectural publishing from around the world — from photo-copied and print-on-demand newsletters such as Another Pamphlet, Scapegoat, and Preston is My Paris, to beautiful magazines such as Mark, Spam, and PIN-UP.
 
Curated by Elias Redstone, the exhibition will showcase 60 architecture magazines, fanzines, and journals from over 20 countries. Independent publications from Australia and Argentina to the UK and USA are reframing how people relate to their built environment,  taking comment and criticism out of the architectural arena and into everyday life.

The publications provide platforms for architectural research and debate, and demonstrate the residual love of the printed word and paper page. Created by architects, artists, and students, they are an important and often radical addition to architectural discourse.

Each magazine is available to read in the exhibition. Video interviews with their creators talking about their work can also be viewed. An accompanying catalogue, published by Bedford Press, further explores the relationship between architecture and publishing with contributions from Pedro Gadanho (Beyond), Iker Gil (MAS Context), Adam Murray (Preston is my Paris), Rob Wilson (Block), Mimi Zeiger (Maximum Maxim MMX/loudpaper) and more. Themes addressed in a series of new essays include the role of publishing in academia and architectural practice, and the representation of architecture in fictional writing, photography, magazines, and fanzine culture.
