The Plan Journal

TPJ is a spin-off from THE PLAN, the Maggioli SpA Publishing Group’s flagship magazine.

THE PLAN Journal (TPJ) intends to disseminate and promote innovative, thought-provoking and relevant research, studies and criticism in architecture and urbanism. The idea to launch the TPJ was born out of the realizations that academia is too often conducting research disengaged from the challenges and problems confronted in the professions and that in practice research can be afforded, with limi

ted platforms for dissemination, only in a small number of cases of professional organizations. The ultimate purpose of the TPJ is thus to enrich the dialog between research and professional fields, in order to encourage both applicable new knowledge and intellectually driven modes of practice. In fact, the TPJ is a spin-off from THE PLAN, the Maggioli SpA Publishing Group’s flagship magazine established in 2001. Initially bi-lingual (Italian and English), THE PLAN(link is external) is now published also in two other versions (full-English and Chinese) and it enjoys a worldwide distribution as well as a reputation of one of the most acclaimed architecture and design magazines on the market. It is our intention to fully leverage the dialog and synergies that can be developed between the TPJ and the flagship magazine, precisely to fulfil the journal’s commitment to enrich the connections between research and practice. To steer the journal on a most appropriate direction, the TPJ will enjoy the advice of an international Advisory Editorial Board, consisting of a highly diverse pool of distinguished experts, scholars and academic and professional leaders.

In the essay “At Home with the Collective: Hilberseimer, Labor Unions, and the Women’s Movement,” author Alexander Eisenschmidt shares: “Ludwig Hilberseimer’s proposals for new types of living for a new kind of liberated individual [that] are particularly instructive today as they rethought housing as a right, allied with unions in order to rethink its financial models, and learned from activists in the Women’s Movement to question the dominant narratives around heteronormative family structures and domestic labor.” Eisenschmidt encourages us to reconsider housing from private to social living conditions. We hope you read this excellent essay addressing the right to housing!

In “A Modular Approach to Colonia Landscapes in Texas’ Lower Rio Grande Valley,” authors Ian Caine and Gabriel Díaz Montemayor explain: “The holistic, modular approach allows for the flexible growth and decline of the community over the course of one hundred years. Ultimately, the transitional, modular model challenges the adversarial environmental, social, and economic arrangements that exist in colonia developments, imagining a more sympathetic relationship between people, water, and land.” Check out the creative approach proposed for landscape and housing in this well-timed article!

Even during Modernism, when the promise of a freer, more liberated and more emancipated humanity was the premise for an aesthetic and ethical revolution, architecture was hostage to historically consolidated gender-biased preconceptions and stereotypes, in blatant contradiction to declared and embraced principles of social and cultural progress.” We encourage you to learn more about design equality in the “Gender Matters” issue of 𝑇𝑃𝐽!

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 starts with a collection of texts by thirty authors discussing a building of their choice. Aragüez continues to invite six additional authors to react to these texts. Ten essays complete the book that address theory and architectural education topics related to structures. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 is a compilation of forty-six essays in all. Van Gerrewey explains that “in these texts, critical but interpretative writing about buildings reveals their common importance - as works of architecture in which every component not only tries to shelter human bodies but also human minds.” This 𝑇𝑃𝐽 contribution entitled “Exaltation of Apartness? ‘The Building’” is well worth reading!

One of the obstacles with this effort is the inconsistency of the surplus land parcels. Challenges these sites might be facing can include a lack of zoning, contamination, and a lack of connection to residential or pedestrian-friendly zones.” We encourage you to learn more about how these challenges are being confronted by creative design solutions that aid in providing affordable housing.
