This Will Not Kill That

A great article in Domus about Architectural publishing.

The digital revolution has spawned a new generation of small, agile and hyperactive publishers who, over the last decade, have profoundly transformed how architecture and design are broadcast, both in print and online.

I remember having a disagreement about what blogging and the internet meant to Architectural publishers with a no longer writing blogger a few years back. He thought basically that there would be no Architectural journals at all and a lot less published work full stop. I was extremely sceptical. For sure the landscape will change drastically but TV didn’t kill Radio and the Internet won’t kill the book or the journal. This article  shows that a new very interesting scene is emerging, and I think personally there will be a lot more to change in this space over the next few years, again from the Domus article,

What one finds today, therefore, is not that online formats seek to replace or supersede printed formats. Instead, the poly-vocal, movable and interactive capacity that is most amplified in online production is actually part of a wider change affecting both print publishing and architectural production itself.

Everybody’s doing it!

At least I am, eer, blogging that is. My blog was featured in the Virtual Finland website. So thanks to Otto Utti and everybody there for including me on the list of best english language blogs in the finnish blogosphere! You can read the full article here.

There are some new blogs to me on the list too which I will take a look at in the next few days. I would submit a longer list too. Darren has a great blog, its the one I started reading before I came to Helsinki, it was quite reassuring too! Also some really great english language blogs by finns. For example;

Butt ugly/antti.vilpponen/nnyman/ Mika Meskanen, just to name a few off the top of my head. Overall I think the Finnish Blogosphere in all its guises is going pretty strong!
