    A superb cover for Architectural Design, May 1972, titled "Invisible London". A compelling issue of this iconic British architectural journal. It highlights the hidden and overlooked parts of London. Through photos, maps and texts, the issue reveals a different, less visible side of London: one shaped by movement, networks and everyday use than iconic landmarks. 

    In the early 1970s, the British magazine AD / Architectural Design stood out as one of the most experimental and intellectually adventurous architecture magazines in the world. Unlike its more conventional peers (including the one it shares initials with), AD embraced avant-garde theory, speculative design, and radical thought at a moment of deep transformation in architecture. It became a key platform for emerging discourses on postmodernism, utopian urbanism, systems theory, and technological futurism. More than documenting buildings, AD served as a laboratory for ideas exploring architecture’s role in improving quality of life, diversity, integration, and sustainability.
