A10 is not the first magazine to want to report on European architecture. There are already established architectural magazines that report on Europe-wide projects, focusing on buildings designed by well-known ‘superstar’ architects. A10 wants to compliment these magazines them by offering an additional overview of the European architectural scene, reporting on the lesser known future stars of the industry.

By establishing a network of correspondents across the whole of Europe (including the often ignored central and eastern Europe), A10 can report on buildings you would only hear about if you lived in that country. In addition, by offering their correspondents the freedom to choose their own subjects, it ensures the reports are fresh, enthusiastic and most importantly, not endlessly repeating the same buildings that are featured in other architectural magazines. A10 also wants to nurture a feeling of accessibility by encouraging readers to correspond with them, as opposed to the one-directional way of communicating adopted by leading magazines.

The overall look and feel of the magazine reflects the idealisms and attitude found within the content choices. There was a deliberate move to create a magazine rather than another precious coffee table publication. The larger size means photographs can create a real impact on the reader and its basic structure allows A10 to keep the price down. Making the magazine affordable to everyone in Europe is a real concern to the founders.

The second issue of A10 will be in the shops in February but in the meantime, you can find more information on the magazine at their website.
