Fulcrum is a student-run weekly publication at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. As a weekly newspaper format, it is interested in exploring how the physicality of print media can work as local journalism; editorially, its emphasis on critical texts (backed by a single image) is a reaction to an increasingly image-based architectural media.


It is produced on a weekly basis during the academic year and is printed using a Risograph. The format is two articles by separate authors on a single page. Past contributors have included Charles Jencks, Norman Foster, Patrik Schumacher [1], and Greg Lynn [2] as well as other architects. More than thirty young writers or students have also been published in Fulcrum, and it has been reprinted several times in other architectural publications [3] [4]

Fulcrum has collaborated with Glasgow-based practise Pidgin Perfect [5] and IUAV's weekly sheet, The SHIP [6].
