Archis is an experimental think tank and publisher.

We explore the diversity and development of architecture, through the publication of Volume magazine and books, the organization of events and international research projects.

VOLUME

The practical urgency of responding to the outpouring of good intentions and miracle solutions

Christophe Catsaros
Archizoom

The succession of Roberto Gargiani at EPFL in Lausanne [École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne] ignited a polemic about the role of history in architecture teaching. From the comfort of their personal environments noted theorists/historians Jean-Louis Cohen, Fabrizio Gallanti, Françoise Fromonot and Philip Ursprung talk about the prospects and relevance of history in architectural education.

Cities and People

The project investigates the future impact of the new technologies upon the European urbanities. Developing concepts like smart city or smart community, the research seeks to reveal the future social and cultural mutations that tend to better valorize individuals and communities together with their human, creative and entrepreneurial potential.
