No. 1 2003Arquitectura Y Urbanismo includes works on subjects of the different scales from design: territorial, urban, architectonic, industrial and graphical, as well as on the relations between the visual arts and the constructed atmosphere.
It dedicates special attention to the results of investigations related to the problems of habitat, the recovery of the built patrimony and the atmosphere constructed in the developing countries.
The magazine publishes resulting articles of works of investigation, critical valuations or reflections about projects and of the constructed reality. Also journalistic works are included: reviews of trips, projects, of exhibitions, information on professional events and other academic events, and other information related to the profile of the magazine. In addition, opinions are received (and they can be published) on the published materials or any aspect that stimulate the compatible development of the thought in the urban-architectonic field and branches.

I went to look for my journals in the Architecture Library and collected the latest ones they have on the shelves. The content of Arquitectura Y Urbanismo is all in Spanish. The title translates to 'architecture and urbanism'.
The index, the only page with English on it, caught my attention. This journal contains some interesting article topics, such as:
1. Trinidad and the Valle de Ios Ingenios. An outline of sustainable hadling in places of small scale
2. San Isidro de Ios Destiladeros. Site revealing the past
3. Caibarien. Domestic architecture and identity
4. Rural housing in Cuba. Reflections and solutions
I believe that a big office doesn't necessarily equal a good office. Big is not beautiful. Therefore I would like to incorporate my personal minimalistic style and design a small office which also fits its purpose well.
I found more recent journal covers ranged from May to August 2007. I decided to look through the May issue.

As I looked for more images relating to Arquitectura Y Urbanismo, the images had a common theme. It might have just been a coincidence, but all of the structures shown had very similar yet unique geometric detailing as the photos found in the May issue.
It is interesting how some geometric details have an orderly pattern, whilst others are just random. But yet both style are equally powerful.
