Hearst Italia has launched its latest multi-channel publishing platform, entirely dedicated to architecture About: making its debut on newsstands, bookstores and online on 9 May.

About: is part of the Hearst Global Design + Architecture division comprising the Italian editions of Elle Decor and Marie Claire Maison and is a cultural and professional project that is divided into a bi-monthly bookadine, a digital platform, dedicated social channels and a program of events, training content and call for projects.

It seeks to explore the current state of architecture as a broad field where design entertains dialogues with other disciplines to shape the present and lay the groundwork for the future.

Alessandro Valenti will be leading the team as Editor-In-Chief, alongside Giulia Ricci as Deputy Editor.
