Hubert Tonka Launches Annual Architecture Publication Architecture et Cie

Hubert Tonka has initiated an annual periodical named Architecture et Cie, marking a continuation of his publishing endeavors that began in the 1960s. This new publication follows his earlier works, Cahiers d'Utopie and Aller simple, and represents a shift from what was described as exemplary marginality to a more certain editorial conformity. In a recent interview, Chantal Béret questioned Tonka about the renewed interest in architecture and the predominance of images over text within Architecture et Cie. The discussion highlights Tonka's long-standing engagement with architectural discourse through print media, reflecting on evolving trends in the field. The publication serves as a platform for exploring architectural themes, with its focus on visual elements sparking dialogue about contemporary practices. Tonka's work underscores the ongoing relevance of architectural publishing in shaping cultural conversations.
