PUBLIC Journal provides an unprecedented platform for the expanding Public Interest Design movement; where the world of architecture intersects the voices of activism, exposing a determination to provide good design for those that need it most, but most often do not get it. PUBLIC is put together by an impassioned group of humanitarians in the fields of architecture, environmental design, and public policy change who are actively working to provide housing, schools and clinics to disadvantaged communities throughout the globe. PUBLIC features thought-provoking editorials and exceptional photography of meaningful projects that are improving lives. Our readers will get insight into the social, political, and cultural issues that surround this burgeoning movement. PUBLIC tells stories of like-minded individuals attempting to make a difference and celebrates their challenges and successes, one shelter project at a time.
