Do you know an architect or an artist? An architecture student? A designer or a landscape architect? Perhaps your daughter, your son, your friend, your father, your mother, your grandfather, your grandmother, your uncle, your aunt, your sister or your brother. Support them by bringing this project to life. The Archiologist Magazine is for everyone with a passion. We need your help to make it a reality!About Us: The Archi/ologist started as a blog where we challenge many new techniques in Architecture and bring about more questions for designing. Precedents are analyzed as well as made connections with. The Archi/ologist is a space for research and professional growth. A space where the author, as well as the readers, can learn new things and share the knowledge. All about developing new ideas and concepts from a student’s point of view.
We have received around 300 student submissions since our opening date, October 26, 2016. We have shared the projects on our website and have worked very diligently to show off the projects in social media so individuals that work very hard can get more fame. We believe that students should get more exhibition space to portray their projects, that is why publications can bring them more possibilities in their career and education.

The Project: To share all the awareness worldwide, we designed a magazine. Which will have topics from known professors, critics, and student/professional projects. As of now, we are developing two editions (for now) that will deal with categories such as cultural projects, housing/residential projects, city planning, and others in between both editions. These magazines will not only be released this year, after launching we will continue to release magazines yearly or by semester, so don't worry if you were not on this one, you can be on the next ones too.
We would be pleased to have you contribute not only in terms of monetary funds, but also by letting us publish some of your amazing projects to serve as a precedent for our audience. We would be grateful if you sponsor us in this educational cause.

BUDGET BREAKDOWN

Here is the list of budget necessities we have calculated:
- Magazines are going to be printed out depending on the amount of funding we can get. Our base is around 200-300. If we get more funding than we ask, we will print more.
- Shipping of the magazines to U.S. and INTERNATIONAL = 15%
- Kickstarter fees = 5%
- Artists, rewards fees and editors = 10%

About Erica Sheldon: Erica’s style is defined by use of color, graphic compositions and constructed visuals to expand the possibilities, creating a reality of her own. Approaching both introspective and extrospective angles to express concerns with identity, transculturation, environmental issues, morality, technology dependance, and the ins and outs of what make living meaningful. Her technique is to ever so slightly whisper messages with a tropical façade using cryptic words, patterns, and photography.
