Archi: Ticino architecture magazine in new hands
The Publishing Group of the Academic Technical Associations will take over the trade journal *Archi* effective January 2010. As a result, the subsidiary of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects will now have a presence in all three language regions.
Founded in 1998, the bimonthly magazine Archi has established itself in recent years as the publication of Italian-speaking Switzerland on the topics of architecture, engineering and urban planning. Since its foundation, it has been the official Italian-language publication of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA). Previously, Rivista Tecnica held this function.
According to a press release issued on Monday, the takeover was made on the best of terms between all parties involved. The independent editorial team will remain in Ticino. The previous publisher, Edizioni Casagrande in Bellinzona, will continue to be responsible for printing the magazine. The SIA Ticino section will take a seat on the Board of Directors of the publishing company.

Publication organs of the SIA in all three language regions
Verlags-AG der akademischen technischen Vereine, based in Zurich, is the publisher of the German-language weekly magazine Tec21 and the French-language biweekly Tracés. With the takeover, the publishing house will be active throughout Switzerland in the three major national languages and will unite all official publication organs of the SIA. The unification of all three journals under one publishing house enables a valuable professional exchange across linguistic borders, as the statement continues.
The publishing company will present Archi at the Swissbau trade fair in Basel on Wednesday, January 13, 2010, and present the first issue under the new editorship.
