_SOILED_ is an architecture magazine released periodically that centers on
architecture, design, and the interactions between humans and space.[1] It
incorporates the visual elements of design magazines and publishes original
writing in the style of a literary magazine. It aims to break down boundaries
between architects and non-architects through this combination. Its open
submission format allows the publication "to extend the architectural dialogue
beyond the community of the discipline to engage the larger public."[2]
_SOILED_ is produced out of the archizine tradition. This movement aims to
"celebrate(s) and promote(s) the recent resurgence of alternative and
independent architectural publishing from around the world."[3] Archinect, a
network of architecture professionals, said of the magazine, "SOILED gets its
hands dirty unknitting the systems-fabric of the built environment's varied
networks, through whatever collaborative means necessary."[4]
The magazine, started in 2011, is based in Chicago, Illinois and published by
the design practice Could Be Architecture. In 2013, the magazine pursued a
Kickstarter campaign in order to fund production. There the team cited its
mission as: "SOILED aims to push the potential of the printed page and
reconnect with the materials and landscape from which its content
originates."[5] The magazine remains supported by donations at present.
To date, the magazine has published seven issues — Groundscrapers,
Skinscrapers, Platescrapers, Windowscrapers, Cloudscrapers, Deathscrapers, and
Animatescrapers.[6] The publication is run by an all-volunteer team and
releases issues annually.
It has been featured in exhibitions like Archzines[7] and the Chicago
Architecture Biennial.[8] Issues and their releases have been featured in
publications like Architizer[9] and Coverjunkie.[10]
