From its inception, the primary function of the SOM Journal, published by Hatje Cantz is to generate a purely objective critique of the firm’s work as a means to initiate an internal conversation about how to fundamentally elevate the firm’s approach to its wide variety of design projects.
SOM remains the most honored architectural firm in the world with more than 1100 major design awards, more than 400 of which have been won since the Journal was started in 2000.
As a continuing series that highlights the conceptual undercurrents being developed at SOM, the Journal presents a selection of recent SOM projects chosen by an external interdisciplinary jury. The process of review by jury and its documentation of criticism, without participation or influence from any member of the firm, is an endeavor unique to SOM.
In addition to providing a critique of SOM’s recent work, the Journal has evolved to include a collection of essays.
The SOM Journal is available from the publisher, Hatje Cantz.
