Astragalo. Culture of Architecture and the City

About the Journal

The journal ASTRAGALO was created in Madrid, at the request of its designer, activist and founder Antonio Fernández Alba in 1994 and published 19 issues until 2001. The label Revista Cuatrimestral Iberoamericana indicated its intention of periodicity (which was fulfilled in its last 4 years) and its scope or reference, as a kind of Ibero-American bridge that Antonio physically crossed many times and which he also fostered in his multiplied and distinguished collection of overseas friends.

It also had some signs of identity such as a design based on a classic graphic image (produced by Antonio, who also prepared each batch of originals), a certain magazine/book packaging and the proclaimed ideological intention of being a written magazine, that is, without the profusion of imagery that characterises any publication on architecture, and even more so by rejecting the dazzle of that cult of appearances offered and still offer by the catalogues of glossy and colourful photographs. ASTRÁGALO was a written and austere magazine, in black and white, when more with some small help of line images and it will continue being like that. Keep reading
