CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES REVISED EDITION

Low-tech Magazine’s original book series is available again. This revised edition of the original (2007-2021), “uncompressed” series is based on the edits made for the compressed edition (released in 2025). However, we increased the font and image sizes and returned to a one-column layout for improved reading comfort.

Volume I (2007-2012), Volume II (2012-2018) and Volume III (2018-2021) are now available in paperback and hardcover via our Lulu bookstore. Volume IV (2021-2025) is on the way.

Articles written by #krisdedecker

The book design is a collaborative effort by Laia Comellas, @marieverdeil , and Johanna Gratzer. Marie Verdeil made the covers, Vaiva Vinskaite did the typesetting.

BRUSSELS — BOOK LAUNCH — 29.4.25

→ How to make books more sustainable? During this evening, Low-tech Magazine will present our "Compressed Book Edition", this time in Brussels, at Architecture Curating Practice's gallery.

→ Inspired by the image compression on its solar-powered website, Low-tech Magazine squeezed the article catalog of their three-volume chronological book series into just one book. Compressing the content — an editorial and design choice — produces a larger reduction in resource use than printing on recycled paper could ever do.

🕰 18:30 Doors open
19:00 Book presentation and introduction of Low-tech Magazine
19:45 Q&A
20:00 Book sale / snacks & drinks / discussion

📌 Architecture curating practice,
et al. architect-run space
37 Rue des Tanneurs / Huidevettersstraat 137
1000 Brussels
