Issue 01: Destruction

Architecture has a long history of destruction and reformation, causing controversy both in its time and beyond. Destruction can act as a positive metamorphosis or as a tool of the unrelenting politics of progress, fundamentally reshaping landscapes and defining new sites of creation. To destroy is to decide what is of value, and in that lies an inherently controversial act. This issue of Module seeks to reshift our perspective of creation by addressing its intrinsic relation to destruction at various scales.

Striving to push the boundaries of architectural journalism, Module boldly reimagines the traditional print magazine through graphical experimentation and unconventional book design. Engaging readers actively in the dialogue of the publication, the first edition of Module is left radically reformed as readers deconstruct and disassemble its pages—effectively destroying the magazine.
