thesaturdayprojects

The Saturday Projects started as an informal gathering of friends looking to pursue work built upon collaborative minds. We were determined to pursue ideas and projects that we never had/were unlikely to have the chance to explore within the framework of school and our job. Projects that were not (A)rchitecture as our training is oft assumed to encompass, but projects about (a)rchitecture and the relationships inherent and arising from it. It was personal.

Yet somewhere along the way, we came to a realisation that the conversation only revolved around us. Hence, The Saturday Projects presents A'postrophe, an initiative conceptualised to give form to the pulse of architecture projects and writings, providing an avenue for discourse beyond the confines of the school's walls and the shelf-life of a semester. The team is looking to gather a variety of contributions, drawing and re-drawing threads of conversations between different groups of people.

A'postrophe attempts to put together an archive of work, bringing together 'students' of architecture and alternative voices peripheral to the immediate field of study

A'postrophe is projected as a 'live' magazine with an expanding archive — multiple issues are planned with specific thematics in mind that seek to expand the rhetoric and understanding of what that introductory prompt could mean

A'postrophe starts with a collection of projects and writings, with additional content in the form op-ed pieces and interviews curated by the editors

A'postrophe is intended to be an avenue for discussion, prompted by the visuals and words of our peers and fuelled by the generosity of their visions. We seek to build upon and extrapolate these existing energies into conversations about architecture and expanding from what we understand the term to encompass in its multifarious forms

A'postrophe is an online magazine about architecture, by (a)rchitects for non-(A)rchitects or not-yet-(A)rchitects

A'postrophe is serious in its intentions, yet believes in the naivety of potentials

A'postrophe is not interested in solutions, yet believes in possibilities presented in words and images

A'postrophe: an opening quotation mark, the start of a remark — the beginning of what we have to say
