Archiduc & Newwork Magazine
Archiduc ist das neue Architekturmagazin von Mike Koedinger Editions in Kooperation mit der Architektur und Engineering Foundation von Luxembourg. Im Oktober 2010 ist die erste viel versprechende Ausgabe veröffentlicht worden.
Zielgruppe des Magazins in erster Linie laut offiziellem Pressetext: “Archiduc is aimed primarily at a readership made up of architects, engineers and contractors, as well as the decision- makers in the world of economics and politics.” – ich bin gespannt!

Pressetext: The magazine looks at architecture through projects completed in the country of Luxembourg, as well as those carried out outside its borders by companies set up in the Grand Duchy. Subjects such as news, in-depth articles and profiles of architects are tackled, as well as more creative subjects.
Archiduc’s aim is to promote the architecture of the Grand Duchy by presenting quality design projects.
Particular care has been given to the design of the magazine: the publisher defined an audacious layout for its artistic direction (produced by INgrid – Studio for Editorial Design) and has given prominent space to photographs. By choosing several paper qualities so as to identify the different sections, the magazine’s intention is to reflect a profession that is concerned with quality and innovation. The final section of the magazine provides news about the Architecture and Engineering Foundation in the “partner” booklet.
In addition to the magazine, there is a website where there is a blog, diary and portfolios, as well as a newsletter.
