DeFACTO is a bi-weekly publication—a candid retaliation against the nonchalance within the “practical,” “reasoning” architecture, towards theory, critical thought, and the plethora of progressive speculation available. DeFACTO is a long-due rebellion, a mutiny against architecture for the sake of architecture alone. It is a claim for its understanding as a system of cause-and-effect, wherein politics, economics, culture, and society are all invested stakeholders. It is a hope for its re-organization as a powerful, inclusive apparatus that productively decodes the connections between ideology and built form. It is a declaration that, “in fact, in effect, in reality, whether by right or not,” theory exists within architectural practice, process, and product alike.
