First Monographs: Young Design Firms and the Experience of Publishing

In spite of the rise of social and electronic media, architects are under increasing pressure to establish themselves through the publication of monographs. This panel discussion will present the perspectives of four “young” firms (those in business for about 10 years) and will explore the importance – and potential pitfalls – of publishing a monograph for a young firm. Why publish? When is the correct time to publish? How much work does a firm need to justify a monograph? What are the benefits?

This talk gives the opportunity to a group of younger architects – those just published for the first time – to talk about their work and about the process of publishing. The event will serve the dual purpose of giving the audience an opportunity to learn about the careers of a select group of architects whose practices are about ten years old AND to act as a guide to publishing for the first time.

The discussion is co-produced by the AIA NY Marketing and PR Committee and the Oculus Committee, and it will take place this Wednesday between 6pm and 8pm. For more information and registration, please click here.
