Двадцать первый номер архитектурного журнала speech: посвящен теме общественных центров – едва ли не самой социально значимой и одновременно самой многообразной типологии современной архитектуры. В центре нашего внимания – пространства и здания, предназначенные для публичных собраний, общения и совместного времяпрепровождения: от крохотных сельских клубов до масштабных комплексов общегородского значения, в которых завидное разнообразие функций сочетается с яркой иконической архитектурой.

В эпоху тотальной компьютеризации, когда виртуальное общение начинает вытеснять реальное, наличие, разнообразие и доступность общественных центров приобретают особое значение – во многом именно эти здания и выступают гарантами созидательного функционирования сообществ.
