PIN–UP is a magazine that captures an architectural spirit, rather than focusing on technical details of design. The magazine is a nimble mix of genres and themes, finding inspiration in the high and the low by casting a refreshingly playful eye on rare architectural gems, amazing interiors, smart design, and that fascinating area where those areas connect with contemporary art.
