L'Arca is a monthly, international magazine of architecture, design and visual communication published in two languages (Italian and English) - with a coedition in French (L'Arca International) which tackles an important design subject in each issue. In a sector like contemporary architecture, where ideas, trends and problems are so deeply affected by historical turnarounds, L'Arca tries to find a guiding thread separating what lasts from what is just a fleeting trend, real value from dubious worth, and promising new development from sterile repetition.
