PUBLISHING PLATFORM ON ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIETY
ONLINE MAGAZINE, SERIES OF BOOKS, AND EVENTS
CARTHA is a curated platform that focuses on sharing different forms of critical thinking regarding architecture and society. Through opinions, experiences and works, it aspires to map out the contemporary architectural landscape.
CARTHA works in cycles where each year is dedicated to a topic. The issues published within this time frame attempt to explore the selected topic from different perspectives. Cycles and issues vary in format and feature contributions that result from an open call for papers and selected collaborations with voices coming from multiple latitudes and backgrounds. The magazine operates through an Internet distributed publication, events and books published at the end of the cycle as the embodiment of the generated content.
Since its foundation, CARTHA has featured more than two-hundred contributors from almost fifty different countries and has participated in multiple initiatives and events across Europe and the United States, including the 2016 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, the 15th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia (2016) and the 2018 Future Architecture Platform.
