DESCRIPTION

The House of Common Affairs (HOCA) is a new, smashing journal about the Fourth Estate Utopias. It provides an opportunity to challenge the niche and yet popular field that exists in the overlap between design and journalism. HOCA invites a more diverse range of voices into the conversation with the aim to promote an international and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, as well as knowledge. It seeks to offer a space for critical thinking with the aim of provoking further developments in this field.

Cloisterf*ck is the second issue of HOCA and is about the role of architecture in relation to journalism. Blending architecture and journalism has the potential to counter propaganda and ‘fake news’. Some of the featured projects bring fresh hope that a new wave of fact-centred practices can convince the public, bring forth justice, and, once again, hold those in power accountable. The rest of the interviews offer a broader set of questions about contemporary architectural practice in relation to current affairs as well as critical views on architectural research.
