Overview

2A Architecture & Art Inc. intends to establish a polyphonic relationship with the professional, international audience and should therefore focus on structures that make this relationship possible with-in its most comprehensive form. Today, despite major achievements in communication media, our world is greatly in need of interrelated dialogue, which can decrease notions of negligence and hostility. No doubt, understanding one another can lead us to a more peaceful yet innovative and lively neighborhood. Hence, we constantly keep in mind the realities of the global village and still deeply believe in the importance of local culture. Moreover, the diversity of works and articles presented in 2A magazine clearly reflect the concept we follow. 2A magazine has always looked for new ways of looking at architecture and art, and has presented various themes which have explored different dimensions of those fields. Understanding the significance of spirituality and other non-physical aspects of architecture, which have been neglected or in some places completely ignored, 2A decided to focus more on this theme, because we believe the future of architecture can be enriched if we incorporate the non-physical aspects into the physical designs. And 2A as an international media in the middle east wants to be a pioneer and promoter of this process. Finally, 2A Magazine acts as a communication bridge between eastern and western architects facilitating their interaction and sharing of their artistic and architectural creativities and innovations which allows them to have a global impact. 2A Magazine specialized and well- known architectural magazine could be a sensitive and effective media element which can reflect an actual image of architecture by focusing on different regional architecture and promote and re- introduce the importance and necessity of considering innovative architecture of various regions by publishing articles in the Magazine and other ways such as 2A Awards.
