In an increasingly visual and interconnected context, communication plays a central role in architecture. Between specialized magazines, digital platforms and social media, the sharing of projects and ideas has become essential to inspire, inform and enhance the value of architects’ work.

Following these different channels — from national and international architecture magazines to digital platforms and social networks — allows for a broader, more current and informed view of contemporary architecture, strengthening the dialogue between inspiration, professional practice and the way we inhabit space.
