is a true source of pride for us: It’s our 300th issue. Maybe you recall what first drew you to : You received a subscription in architecture school, you’re a lifelong reader or you just recently discovered us — whether in print or online., starring a chicken, for a food–design issue (May 2010); the “Googlegram” of a raised fist to signify the green revolution in design (May 2007); and particular articles that melded great storytelling with vivid visuals. I’m still inspired by the pieces we published on the floating communities of Lagos, Nigeria (Sept 2007); Frank Gehry’s just-completed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (Nov/Dec 2003); and Nelda Rodger’s experience of “the Last Salone in Milan” (Jul/Aug 2005). One of ’s co-founders, Rodger brought her incisive wit and curiosity to the continuous evolution of the magazine’s scope. She and Sergio Sgaramella turned a humble publication into an internationally renowned resource — and a place where both concrete projects and flights of fancy could be explored with equal enthusiasm.
