Author

Since 2014, CARTHA, founded by an international team of architects and designers, has provided a platform for critical thinking on architecture aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical approaches to contemporary architecture. Each year, CARTHA initiates research and publishes four issues on a topic in its online magazine, which are then brought together in an annual book.
