onlab designed the exhibition like an editorial office that is open to the public. onlab’s concept for 'The Making of Your Magazines' offers two approaches to 40 years of history and discourse in the magazine archplus. One access to the thematic development of the magazine is presented on a long timeline/infographic on the wall which chronologically maps the evolution according to 12 selected topics. The second approach engages the visitors to compile their own selection of articles from the past 40 years and to create their own issue of archplus while the editorial board is working on the next issue in the same space.
