About Soiled

SOILED is a periodical of architectural stories that makes a mess of the politics of space. Positioned between a literary journal and design magazine, SOILED narrates a playfully sincere and seriously humorous exploration of oft-overlooked dimensions of our built environment. We believe that by intensifying the fictive and storytelling potential in architecture, we might engage a broader public in architectural ideas from discourse to action.

SOILED is an independent, artist-lead project produced by Joseph Altshuler, Hollen Reischer, Matthew Harlan, and Mariel Tishma, and published by the Chicago-based design practice Could Be Architecture.
