History and profile

Arquitecturas Bis was launched in Barcelona in 1974.[2] The founders were writer Rosa Regàs, architect Oriol Bohigas and graphic designer Enric Satué.[3] Regàs also served as the editor-in-chief and was the owner of La Gaya Ciencia, the publisher of the magazine[2] which appeared on a bimonthly basis.[1]

The magazine editors were mostly Catalans who included Federico Correa, Lluís Domènech, Rafael Moneo, Helio Piñón, Manuel de Solà-Morales and Tomás Llorens.[4] Luis Peña Ganchegui later became a member of the editorial board.[3] In 1977 Fernando Villavecchia began to work for the magazine as the secretary of the editorial board.[3] It contained news, notes, theoretical writings, historical essays, criticism and books reviews.[3] Arquitecturas Bis focused on architecture-related topics, but also featured articles dealing with the question of aesthetic in a critical manner.[2]

The magazine folded in 1985 after producing a total of 32 single and 10 doubles issues.[3]
