Summary:
Everything happens from person to person through encounters. The Purple Journal takes this into account and is a place in which to escape the monotone repetitions of the world media—a lively magazine that resists dead ends and divisions. The subjectivity of the authors is always expressed freely through their reportages, chronicles, essays, stories or photographs. Our editorial line consists of clearing art from the invading culture, political thought from false politics, beauty from vulgarity, and brings meaning, or rather a voice back to what is the original concept of a journal—and this, in all fields: from international politics to culinary art, passing through travel, fashion and philosophical essays. The Purple Journal is conceived as a general-interest publication with an international agenda (each issue exists in a French version). Here then is a publication that takes liberty, season after season, to open up other perspectives of current developments.

Summary:
This edition of the Dutch architecture journal presents essays in word and image on the designed environments of today, yesterday and tomorrow. Its subjective arguments and personal reflections on the field's practice and discourse consider what is (and is not) happening and is (and is not) being said: Architecture Bulletin reflects on the field and all of its potential significance. This, its third issue, tackles the many manifestations of the city, the power centers in street life, the ways in which public spaces are "hacked" by subversive street artists and the ways in which public space in the average city now extends into the virtual domain. Corollary essays reflect on the impact of the hyper-reality of the shopping mall on social behavior, and on social interventions that improve the livability of architecture.

For this yearbook, our annual selection of the representative arcitecture of Japan, fifty works have been chosen from those published in Shinkenchiku Jutaku Tokushu and are presented in order of the amount of floor area, from smallest to largest. Rather than using a highly arbitary order based either on the circumstances surrounding the work, its topicality or building type, in adopting this pratical arrangement from small to large scale, we anticipate that the latent similarities, proximities and differences that surface will become apparent and incite new discoveries.
