Frequencyquarterly

Published since 2015, Outsider is an internationally minded quarterly magazine, primarily focused on 'spatial' culture. One could say by taking architectural and urban issues as a starting point, it then expands them with a myriad of their cultural, social and personal contexts. As such, the magazine deals with design, urban planning, literature, photography, architectural trends and history, illustration, and just curious personalities in between these coordinates. Though often addressing current issues, the magazine strives to produce content of a relatively more lasting value.

The magazine uses a variety of formats to present long-reads, photographic presentations, interviews, reviews and reflections. Alongside the physical editions (which have a strong tenancy for experiment, trying out, for example, different types of print and paper), Outsider naturally also runs a website, where a selection of these articles is freely available and adapted to the web environment, with some of the content produced exclusively for the web. An example is a weekly 'soap opera' of illustrated short stories, or a response to current events.

Contents

One of Outsider's slogans is that it presents the best Slovene architecture and design, and – with the magazine's editorial board more or less made up of architects – examples of this do feature very strongly.

The average issue is segmented into 7 thematic chapters. One of them is reserved for columnists (mostly Slovenians who live or work abroad), and the others revolve around topics like 'places of learning', 'people in architecture', 'The Local', 'Illustration and so on. Sometimes, particular architects are taken into account, such as for example Adolf loos or Maks Fabiani.

Outsider sometimes also runs various public interventions, like for example a public call (enacted together with the Institute for Spatial Policies) for proposals about refugee housing, or a search for the best project of adapting a 'typical Slovene house'.
