Exit Journal.
Things are changing. A journal may wax indefinitely, but its formula has exhausted its initial fuel. MALarch needs new material — something more definitive. 0 – 15 count the late journal incarnation. A new order begins as Latin letters usurp Arabic numerals. As far as the text itself is concerned, numbering is meaningless. The alphabet spells out each entry legibly: a glossary of words relating to architecture, building and space.
What words define architecture? What words in architecture need definition? What are words that architects use, overuse or otherwise appropriate — the best, worst, hackneyed, niche or whatever architecture-ish words heard? Leave yours in the comments, or send them on Twitter.
The glossary adds new definitions on Twitter dailyish, loosely alphabetically, but without any commitment to any alphabetics. Entries will be added as each letter reaches its quorum.
