T18 Magazine is a digital magazine of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
It was inaugurated on June 29, 2011, in the La Pedrera Auditorium (or Casa Milá) in Barcelona (Spain), an emblematic building, a World Heritage Site and the work of the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudí, and now, a building owned by the defunct Catalunya Caixa, which one of our first Sponsors.

We have readers in more than 160 countries, and we are proud to have this dissemination and very good reviews, but we know that these data indicate that the direction is correct and that the road is long and you have to be well equipped to reach a successful conclusion.; and that is what we have been doing since the day of the inauguration. Egort, hard work and a rigorous spirit and passion, son of the tools we want to do service to record our own objectives.
t18 Magazine includes works, projects or designs from all over the world that, from our point of view, represent excellence, although this, sometimes, is not the best known. We don’t care where they are, what size it is or who signs it, but rather that it reflects a job well done. With this way of doing things, we want to provide the opportunity to publicize good architecture, although unfortunately, sometimes, it is not known outside the strict area of action.
T18 Magazine is bilingual, in Spanish and English. It can be read online or downloaded in pdf format and is completely free thanks to the sponsorship of our Sponsors, a characteristic that makes it, we think, unique on the Internet, proposing a new way of raising awareness about culture, in this case in our field, the of Architecture. We have always written that culture must be everyone’s heritage and must be disseminated free of charge; If this was not heaven, perhaps today rue would have been invented, but not spread. T18 is only a minimal grain of sand on the beach of knowledge, but movements are possible, still being free.
Recognition of our egort has recognition on different websites, sometimes replicating our publications or other times expressing good reviews as, for example, has made “A Daily Dose of Architecture”, one of the most important Architecture blogs in the United States.
T18 Magazine is a project promoted by architects Xavier Alba and Octavio Mestre, founders-co-editors and Irene Yal, editor-in-chief. T18 Magazine was born out of the vital need to be able to read the magazine that we would have liked to look at but that did not exist.
