Monograph.it is a unique contemporary magazine that combines monography and review. Each volume follows an original structure, although all devote several pages to the study of architecture. Accompanying these case studies are galleries flush with places, buildings, and landscapes; when combined with detailed studies focussing on cities in evolution, Monograph.it encourages its readers to conceive of urbanisation and landscape as mutually complementary. The aim of this is to provide a comprehensive overview that acknowledges differing development speeds of architectural productions, across a variety of scales. An ongoing project, this survey will be summarised in 'Researches' (a chapter to be published in the next issue). This will stress the importance of encouraging innovation in students of architecture. Monograph.it acts as a platform for theoretical debate, conducting interviews and hosting essays from big-name figures in the architecture world for example, the firm featured in this issue: Corvino and Multari. A remarkable pair of architects, Corvino and Multari have been shortlisted for a number of international awards, and won the 2006 Italian Architecture Award for their restoration of the Pirelli Skyscraper. Their projects have been exhibited worldwide, and works-in-progress range from music halls, to shopping centres, to the post-earthquake repair of residential property. A versatile team with a seemingly infinite repertoire, Corvino and Multari have a reputation for problem-solving: their creations are as daring as they are functional, and never fail to impress.

Perhaps this celebrated French architect's most renowned project is the L'Opera Restaurant in Paris, France, whose softly sweeping lines and red and white decor create an atmosphere that is simultaneously majestic and cosy. A breath of fresh air among modern architects bewitched by the strength of a straight line, Decq's constructions are not afraid to be curvaceous.
