Architecture and interiors from India, October 2026

Architects judge a magazine by how it treats a building. The photograph has to be honest and the type has to step back from it.

This specimen gives the building most of the page, sets a heavy lowercase masthead across the sky, and keeps the cover lines to one narrow column on the brick wall.

Format: Architecture magazine
Extent: Cover

Decisions

A heavy lowercase masthead
aangan is set in a black grotesque across the open sky, the one loud element on a quiet cover.
One narrow column of lines
The lead number and three short lines sit on the plain brick at the right, where they do not cut across the building's lines.
Projects named by place
A courtyard house in Kochi, lime plaster in old Pune wadas: the lines read like a table of contents an architect would trust.
