Since 2018, Studio Studio has designed and helped produce the in-house magazine of BINST ARCHITECTS, from B 01 in October 2018 through to B 07 in 2023. The magazine is conceived as a recurring, twice-yearly publication in which the Antwerp-based architecture firm, working from its office on ‘t Zuid, accounts for the evolution of its projects, its team and its internal developments. Studio Studio took on the full graphic design and oversaw the print production of each of the seven issues, within the broader visual system previously developed for BINST ARCHITECTS.
The editorial structure has remained consistent across the run, organised around recurring sections such as Spotlight, In Focus, B brand and B scene, while each issue shifts in tone and emphasis with the work of the moment. B 01 set the register by taking the relocation to the new office as its subject, alongside the redefinition of the team and the introduction of the affiliated platforms B 7, B brand and B scene. Later issues turned towards completed buildings, increased scale and a more outspoken use of materials, with the jubilee edition B 05 marking a wider shift in the firm’s design language, and B 07 in early 2023 presenting a selection of recent and partly confidential competition projects. Across the seven issues, the magazine functions as a continuous, half-yearly portrait of the firm, held together by a single graphic framework.
