Mission statement

What ''MONU'' has been aiming at since the very beginning is exploring every kind of urban aspect, everything that appears around the city. The magazine was always intrigued to find out the hidden political, social and economic truths, formal realities and interdependencies in cities.

Opinions

''MONU'' is generally critical of the fact that often urban spaces only fulfill the wishes and dreams of a powerful minority, who neglect the needs of most other people. ''MONU'' criticizes the consequences of a financially powerful elite developing real estate projects in cities merely to accommodate their consumerist desires.

History

''MONU'' was founded by

Bernd Upmeyer Bernd Upmeyer (born July 2, 1973, Göttingen) is a German architect and urbanist living and working in Rotterdam, where he opened his own architecture firm Bureau of Architecture, Research, and Design (BOARD) in 2005. He holds a Ph.D. in Urban Stud ...

and Thomas Söhl in 2004 and was originally conceived as a way to keep in touch and to continue to intellectually challenge one another after graduating in architecture and urban design at the

University of Kassel The University of Kassel (german: link=no, Universität Kassel) is a university founded in 1971 located in Kassel, Hessen, in central Germany. As of February 2022 it had about 25,000 students and about 3300 staff, including more than 300 profe ...

in 2002. Both founders went their separate ways, however: Upmeyer started working in the Netherlands and Söhl moved to the United States. The title of the magazine was created as an

: Magazine ON Urbanism. Upmeyer once explained in an interview that at the start of the new millennium it felt much more appropriate, in a globalized world, to investigate topics such as architecture as a part of a wider field – in this case urbanism. The topic of the first issue “ Paid Urbanism” was originally a University project that Upmeyer and Söhl were planning to do together during the late 1990s, but in the end never did. It was based on the idea of paying people to appear in deserted public spaces to inject artificially life into dead urban areas. Ever since, putting a different adjective or noun next to the word “Urbanism” has become a routine that continues to this day. Since 2007 - after issue #7 - Upmeyer directs ''MONU'' alone, as

, supported by his Rotterdam-based Bureau of Architecture, Research, and Design (BOARD). In 2008 Beatriz Ramo joined ''MONU'' as managing and contributing editor, after having supported and collaborated with the magazine since its first issue. What was at first an almost underground magazine made available in pdf format and as a stapled-together, black and white printed version, has evolved over the years into one of the main independent publications and into one of the leading independent architecture magazines published today, bringing together challenging themes explored by interesting writers and theorists.

Circulation

In 2011, ''MONU'' reported an average circulation of 3,000 copies per issue, two thirds of which were sold in

. ''MONU'' has been described as the biggest independent publication focused explicitly on urbanism. ''MONU''’s first print-run was very small, around 300 copies. From 2011 until 2015 ''MONU'' was also available digitally.

Innovation

''MONU''’s blend of radical passion and expert design has made the magazine itself the focus of several international exhibitions, including in

- one of the world's most important exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. ''MONU'' was invited as part of the documenta's magazines project. ''MONU'' is considered to have brought back a new critical edge to the architectural and urban discourse at the beginning of the new millennium and has inspired many others to found similar magazines, particularly between 2005 and 2009. Many of those new magazines were featured together with ''MONU'' in the so-called Archizines Exhibition in London in November 2011.

Features

With every new issue, ''MONU'' uses the method of “call for submissions” or call for papers (CFP) for collecting contributions. This device of “call for submissions” has been based on the realization that the view of one person is limited. ''MONU'' wanted to open the magazine to different and changing perspectives and to focus on diversity, as the core value of the magazine. In that sense, the magazine aims to be open-sourced to its core, collecting and deploying a wide variety of articles, images, concepts, and urban critiques from designers and thinkers from all over the world, recognizing that the traditional journal no longer connects to today's informed audience. ''MONU''’s method of the “call for submissions” and its focus on diverse backgrounds and viewpoints from international contributors has found many followers in newer architectural publications that were established after 2005. ''MONU'' claims to have introduced the device of “open calls” as a tool to finding contributors to architectural and urban magazines – especially in Europe. Every issue features texts, topic-focused interviews, research, critical analysis, photography, conceptual artwork, and infographics on a defined topic."Every issue features"
