The issue 78/79 of Design Quarterly (journal published in 1970 by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis) was completely dedicated to possible definitions of Conceptual Architecture.

The author, architectural writer John Margolies, invited 11 artists and architects to provide their own visual account on the subject. Margolies’ letter was also used as the textual cover for the issue, hence predating of three years the similarly abundantly textual cover of Lucy  Lippard‘s Six Years, the reference text on Conceptual Art published by Praeger in 1973.
