PIN-UP Magazine: Issue 40 - Independence

PIN–UP 40: The Independence Issue. To mark 20 years of architectural entertainment, one issue simply wasn’t enough, so we made ten — beautifully packaged in a specially designed box. Together, they ask: what marks the early 21st century? Which houses built since 2000 matter most? Which objects will come to represent its first quarter? And where do architecture, design, and culture stand today? A collector’s edition celebrating contemporary culture and 20 years of independent publishing.
