OASE #100: The Architecture of the Journal / Available at www.draw-down.com / The 100th issue of OASE takes the journalās long-standing collaboration with its graphic designer #KarelMartens as a starting point to explore the relationship between #architecture journals and #graphicdesign. In doing so, it challenges the conventional idea that architecture journals are mere carriers of information, showing instead how these journals play a defining role in the message they convey. Adhering to Marshall McLuhanās famous maxim āthe medium is the messageā, it considers the graphic space of the journal, its materiality, its production, and the physical experience of reading. The landmark issue zooms in on the relationship between architecture journals and graphic design, starting with a historical overview before considering the specific history of #OASE and the practice of its own graphic designer. The aim is to provide an insight into the close and mutually enriching relationship between the graphic design of an architecture journal and the production of architectural knowledge. Includes the articles āMagazine Architectureā; āKarel Martens and the Architecture of the Journalā; āHarvest of Oasis: Merits and Dilemmas of the Gridā by #LindavanDeursen; and āImageless Architecture Building Metaphors for a Typographic Gridā as well as a transcribed converation between Karel Martens and the issueās editors.
