San Rocco Magazine
San Rocco is a magazine about architecture that is published three times a year on specific themes. San Rocco was launched in September 2010 in Venice on the occasion of the Architecture Biennale and was designed to have a run of five years, i.e., the magazine was to stop production at the end of its five-year plan, something that was decided at the very beginning when the list of the themes to be addressed in each issue was determined.
San Rocco approaches architecture in an eminently simple way: it encourages writing about buildings, drawings, projects, and built or drawn ideas from around the world without having to pay homage to the latest cultural trend.
The topics addressed in each issue are discussed rigorously but also freely, with a sense of ingenuity, sometimes a little bravery, and often a delicate sense of irony, and without insisting upon philological accuracy.
