WELCOME TO THE HIVE
We’re a multidisciplinary magazine interested in gathering the story behind design.
A detail of a sketch, a quote from a lecture, a moment in a studio.
Piecing together the scraps of design unlocks a type of reflection that is personal, collective, intimate, and historical.
We hope to spark something in whoever reads this. ARC.Hive reminds architects that good design doesn’t come from a finished product—it comes from empathy.
PROCESS OVER POLISH
The unrefined is welcome: models, markups, misprints, site notes, and version histories.
PRACTICE AS CULTURE
Not just buildings—labor, policy, climate, and the rituals that make work possible.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY BY DEFAULT
Essays, conversations, drawings, photos, collages, sound, code, built experiments.
INTERACTION, NOT DISPLAY
Work that talks back—documents, method, critique, care, and conversation.
