“It’s packed with gorgeous cover images, from copulating robots to an elephant attacking the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan to a skyscraper made of Swiss cheese… But this is not an exercise in nostalgia. It’s a piercing critique, intended or not, of the smoothness of our contemporary design culture… In an era when architects seem wholly absorbed in landing big commissions, these magazines remind us how much can be achieved with seemingly so little.”
There is a vast amount of good work at the Princeton School of Architecture [SOA] that is unaccessible to our fellow students and the outside world. Student initiated and produced, Pidgin aims to capture and broadcast this work.
A humble vessel for the transportation of urgent cargo. Pidgin is a way for ideas to escape the often hermetic confines of our computers, desks, and buildings and find their way into the larger world.
Pidgin features the work of students, faculty, staff, & friends of the SOA. We are looking to include papers, lists, photographs, film stills, projects, ideas, tips, provocations, critiques, drawings, sketches, manifestos, recipes... most ANYTHING that you would like to communicate and discuss.
Pidgin is not a brochure, it is a dispatch. We hope it finds you well.
