The Plan Magazine, Issue 167 (December/January 2025/26)

One of the most extraordinary architecture magazines ever produced is for its readers not only a coffee-table magazine but also a useful working tool. Tycoons of the architecture international scene as well as new young talents discovered by the Committee of The Plan are beautifully presented through images and technical drawings showing the transformation from design to realisation. A deep presentation of architectural materials produced by the industry is proposed through this colourful journal. Alongside the in-depth architecture articles, new design and in particular practical industrial design, features.
