Happy Holidays from PLATFORM
Dear PLATFORM readers,
As the year closes, we are reaching out to our readers to ask for your help in keeping PLATFORM afloat in today's stormy waters. In 2025, we published forty-three timely, provocative, and well-written articles on the built environment. Our content, new and back-list, was read by more than 110,000 individuals from around the world.
If you’re curious, or missed them, our most-read new articles this year were:
1. “Chinampa Veneta: A Scenography of Extractivism at the Venice Biennale” by Sergio Beltrán-García, Elis Mendoza, and Daniel P. Gámez
2. “Architecture Studio after the Encampments” by Adam Nussbaum
3. “Writing Migration Now” by PLATFORM Contributing Editors Min Kyung Lee and Sarah Lopez, and Arijit Sen
4. “In-Between Dimensions: Architecture, Digitality and Protest through the Azadi Monument in Tehran” by Zohreh Soltani
5. “The Plantation Logic of Nusantara” by Robin Hartanto Honggare
Our most-read back-list articles this year were:
1. “NRx: A Brief Guide for the Perplexed” by Roger Burrows (2024)
2. “Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Trailers on the Edge” by Eduard Krakhmalnikov (2022)
3. “The House that Anti-Fascism Built: The Hofs of Red Vienna” by Joseph Heathcott (2021)
4. “Abstraction is a Privilege” by PLATFORM editor Fernando Luiz Lara (2021)
5. “The Power of the Plan” by Abigail A. Van Slyck (2020)
To maintain PLATFORM, which will turn seven — and publish our four-hundredth article — in 2026, we rely on donations from readers like you. Our editors, contributing editors, and authors work without compensation. Our content is always open-access. We do, however, have operating expenses, including web hosting and a digital editor.
In order to keep PLATFORM live, please consider making an end-of-year tax-deductible (in U.S.) donation. Every dollar counts.
To contribute, visit our donations page or send a check drawn on a U.S. bank account to: Platform Journal, Inc., P.O. Box 9327, Berkeley, CA 94709, USA.
Happy holidays and with gratitude for your support.
