Arquitecturas Bis was a Spanish bimonthly architecture magazine which was published in Barcelona, Spain, between 1974 and 1985. Its subtitle was información gráfica de actualidad (Spanish: current graphic information).
Arquitecturas Bis was launched in Barcelona in 1974.[1] The founders were writer Rosa Regàs, architect Oriol Bohigas and graphic designer Enric Satué.[2] Regàs also served as the editor-in-chief and was the owner of La Gaya Ciencia, the publisher of the magazine.[3] Arquitecturas Bis appeared on a bimonthly basis[4] and had a layout of 230x395 mm.[1]
The magazine editors were mostly Catalans who included Federico Correa, Lluís Domènech, Rafael Moneo, Helio Piñón, Manuel de Solà-Morales and Tomás Llorens.[5] Luis Peña Ganchegui later became a member of the editorial board.[2] In 1977 Fernando Villavecchia began to work for the magazine as the secretary of the editorial board.[2] It contained news, notes, theoretical writings, historical essays, criticism and books reviews.[2] Arquitecturas Bis focused on architecture-related topics, but also featured articles dealing with the question of aesthetic in a critical manner.[3]
The magazine collaborated with Oppositions, a New York-based architecture magazine. The same writers published articles in both titles which frequently cited each other.[6]
The magazine folded in 1985 after producing a total of 32 single and 10 doubles issues.[2]
