AMO asks for your response
2005.08.23 12:24

Magazines are fine, but remember that magazines today are virtually all an advertising medium. Professional journals are not full of advertising, rather research and ideas, etc. Magazine web sites offer a selection of articles for free; profession journals online are mostly restricted reading by subscription (of individuals or institutions/libraries). Online publishing offers many options that traditional publishing does not, and there is little worry over distribution. Packaging is nothing but superficial, and more a waste than anything in these times when conservation is much more important.

Archinect is a unique/great place for architects to meet in cyberspace. There are not all that many other active cyberplaces for architects. I do Quondam as a virtual museum of architecture, and there I strive towards continually producing a museum that a real museum can't or won't be. AMO might find itself more focused with a bulletin that a real bulletin can't or won't be. Isn't that more along the lines of what Koolhaas envisioned AMO to be from the start?
