Stavros said: “Archisearch has established its excellent reputation as an open platform of communication for all things art, architecture and design – related. This is the result of the great enthusiasm and commitment displayed by its editorial board and contributors, which, at the moment, is rewarded everyday by our hign numbers readership from Greece and other countries from the rest of the world. We wish to build upon this valuable legacy and take Archisearch one step beyond:
Our greatest hope and pride is in the vast network of young Greek architects and designers at professional practices and academic institutions all around the globe, whom we wish to invite as guest contributors. In our constant flow of information, we wish to include up-to-date, original content, covering a wide range of individual perspectives, with the aim of facilitating exchange.
Besides the customary images and short explanatory texts, Archisearch will exploit the full potential of dynamic media, such as the crowd-sourced moving image narratives, original interviews and critical essays open to debate and commentary, as well as constant feedback from our channels in the social media.
Archisearch is committed to further empowering a community that will share a global perspective while retaining a connection to its beginnings in Greece, allowing young talent, constructive criticism and innovative discourse to prevail.”
