6850 is the postal code of Mendrisio, a place that stands for an idea of School – the Academy of architecture: a didactic experiment that for nearly thirty years has been a model, enduring its own myth, the passage of time, and the ambiguity of an identity rooted in Ticino and suspended between Europe and the Mediterranean. 6850 is the name of this journal, born to fill a void, to gather a group around an idea: that architecture is a complex, layered and necessary discipline. It must be discussed, critiqued, defended, questioned and approached with the utmost seriousness. 6850 aspires to become a space for critical exchange, a collective platform.
