We know the script: technology changes, architecture reacts. But if the history of media teaches us anything, it’s that novelty rarely means rupture. This issue of ARQ explores how contemporary media—digital platforms, algorithmic curation, the ceaseless churn of images—shapes architectural practice, not by replacing old systems but by layering over them. From radio towers to TikTok loops, from algorithmic competitions to data centers repackaging memory, contributors dissect how media mediates architecture today.

Essays
Ines Weizman listens to buildings, tracing the aural dimensions of architecture in the work of Heinz Emigholz. Stefania Rasile examines how QR codes and online archives transform the cemetery into a networked memorial. Asunción Díaz-García, María-Elia Gutiérrez-Mozo, and José Parra-Martínez take on AI-driven design competitions, questioning whether automation amplifies or dilutes architectural authorship. Alejandra Bosch and Gabriela Castillo shed light on the history of architectural landscape education at the PUC. Nicolás Valencia traces the fate of the architectural blogosphere in an era of platform monopolies. Davide Tommaso Ferrando unpacks how domestic space is reshaped by mass media, social platforms, and performative self-exposure. 

Projects
Office KGDVS (Kersten Geers David Van Severen) revisit the relationship between media, public space, and built form with their design for the Radio Télévision Suisse headquarters. Giancarlo Mazzanti reimagines play and the future of the kiosk in an age of hybrid public-private spaces. Sarah Hearne, Current Interests, Julie Riley, Jenny Leavitt and Christina Huang explore the production of architectural drawings for magazines, reframing them as collaborative, layered artifacts in an expanded media landscape. Houseurope! considers how digital activism and urban preservation intersect.
