Brickbat Mag is an independent magazine of 5 issues designed in parallel to brickbat project. Brickbat
is a project on dwelling and imagining alternative spaces.
The word which gives the project its name refers to an object – often a brick or a stone – wrapped in a
message written on paper, which is thrown through a window as an intimidatory warning. In our case, it
is an action that wants to emphasize a fracture, a change of direction of our dwelling habits, which we
usually experience in passive ways, lacking creativity, and lacking initiative in wanting to find and
experiment with new ways of living.
The brick is a symbol, together with the gesture of throwing, aimed at crossing a limit, at
breaking it, without knowing the precise outcome. We don't know where our brick will land – in what
space, in how many houses – if the message will be read, welcomed, and if it will have the power we
imagine: to deconstruct our fixed thoughts on dwelling and living.
