Who Gets to Write?

For our inaugural issue, Who Gets to Write?, we were interested in exploring the accessibility of architectural discourse. Our discipline is shaped by those among us who have time and space for writing and reflection—luxuries we, as newly-minted practitioners and academics, often find hard to come by. In fact, we started Architecture Writing Workshop as a way to structure our continued engagement with architectural writing and editing in the face of the demands of our daily work-life.

This issue includes our first roundtable discussion, Speaking of Writing, with Scott Colman, Sydney Shilling, and Brittany Utting; an essay by Stefan Novakovic, On the Economics of Writing (About Architecture); a building analysis by Mai Okimoto, A Neighborhood Within; and Matthew Allen on The Right to Read.

We’re excited to welcome you to the conversation.
