Launching today is the Issue 7 of PIN-UP Magazine. A “magazine for architectural entertainment,” it’s an architecture magazine for people bored by architecture magazines.
PIN-UP generally features fascinating people that make design happen, rather than the designs themselves. This issue profiles giants in the field, including Shigeru Ban and Ricardo Bofill, alongside those at the edges of the establishment, like the young New York firms SO-IL and Bureau V. Editor Felix Burrichter also has a soft spot for kitsch, as evidenced by the photo essay on Fire Island’s Belvedere Guest House for Men in the new issue, and for the overlap between art and design.
Look for it at independent and specialty booksellers worldwide. In New York find it at St. Mark’s Books, the New Museum store, and Spoonbill & Sugartown in Williamsburg. Worldwide distribution and subscription info is available here.
See below for some spreads from the new issue.
Full disclosure: I am involved with the magazine, and contributed the text in the new issue on The Belvedere. I also run the magazine’s Facebook group.
