Over the last few years the “little magazines” strongly reaffirm their presence in Italy. Burrasca and ICAR65 – two of the latest editorial organizations – thought about establishing a meeting opportunity for the insiders. The two seminars, called evocatively “Clip Stamp Upload”, took place in Genova (Italy) in 2015 and 2016, supported by the Foundation of the Architects Registration Board. There was an interesting and profitable discussion that involved a wider audience.
The book’s curators, Luigi Mandraccio and Gian Luca Porcile, tried to point out the state of the art of the architectural independent publishers, creating a collective result made by a lot of different contributions. The art direction by Ilaria Cazzato and Chiara Federico – following Burrasca’s principles and practice – support this flow, adding a fundamental contribution.
