The Taubman College periodical rack serves as the focal point for everyday discussions
of current architectural discourse and pedagogy. This modular, adaptable system allows
for convenient access to the latest issues of architecture, planning and design periodi-
cals. This system allows students and faculty to quickly scan the wall of magazines to
observe current trends across multiple publications, while interested users can zoom in
on a specific issue and use its hinged module as a convenient reading shelf.
Each module features a wide metal band across its front face. This thin rib holds the
most current issue of that module’s respective periodical, with the pages of the maga-
zine split on either side of the metal. When the latest issue is checked out, back issues
of the same publication will be exposed through an acrylic window. Removing the latest
issue also exposes the title of the magazine that has been cut into the metal band.
The arrangement of these individual magazine modules allows for the expansion of the
College’s periodical collection, with the possibility of displaying up to 55 unique publica-
tions on one wall.
To minimize waste and assembly time, the plywood pieces of each modular unit will be
CNC routed in Taubman College’s digital fabrication laboratory. The metal magazine ribs
will also be formed in the fablab on the WaterJet cutter.
