Summary:

From a modest satirical newspaper distributed within the Liège Academy of Fine Arts, architects Émile Parent, Edgard Klutz, Yvon Falise, Paul Fitschy and Albert Tibaux managed to turn 'L'Équerre' magazine, published from 1928 to 1939, into one of the leading committed journals in Belgian architecture and city planning, as it relayed European debates in the inter-war period and became the official mouthpiece of CIAM (International Congresses of Modern Architecture) in Belgium. The magazine gave voice to the main representatives of Belgian and international Modernism (Victor Bourgeois, Le Corbusier, etc.). Moreover, having understood the cross-disciplinary dimension of architecture, the editors, in close collaboration with the poet and critic Georges Linze, were very keen to open their columns to various expressions of modern art. Nowadays, there is also evidence that the magazine was among the most influential publications in Europe during that period.
