UME Architecture Magazine (Free online resource)

What is UME?  UME is an independent international architecture magazine edited, produced, published and wholly owned by Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper. Between 1996 and 2007, 21 issues of UME were published: UME 1-7 are out of print but UME 8-21 are in stock. In 2007 UME went online, with all 21 issues available – free – as PDF downloads. From 2008 UME will be a digital magazine available only online as high-res downloads, again free.

A key intention of UME is to present the drawings architects make to build their designs – usually the working drawings – and through them to elicit cultural and critical commentary.
