At last, the
Architecture Post The Review is back, after busy months. Today I look at French little publication
Cosa Mentale.
Cosa Mentale is produced by young editors, some are architecture students others are young professionals; others are not architects — accountant, etc. They are ten and considered themselves as being in resistance. I met three of them on May 23rd at le Bar Le Chéri, a typical bobo-styled (Bourgeois-boheme in French) bar, in Belleville 19th arrondissement, Paris.

Cosa Mentale ı Construire 008, 2012 |
I only have two issues: Modestie and Construire. I heard of this journal in January, this year. I was searching magazines and books at a bookstore when I saw this newspaper-typed publication.

The journal is mostly unilingual with interviews of foreign architects published in both versions: French one and original one.

Like many periodicals, despite a fragile economy,
Cosa Mentale shares this energy of offering a new and fresh vision of architecture.
