DISTIGMO is an independent magazine and publisher that emerged through a method of trial and error—also the title and theme of its inaugural issue. Trial and Error focuses on early design stages, experiments, mistakes, and unexpected turns, aligning with the magazine’s core purpose: to adopt an open and non-linear process in the development of its issues. Each issue reinforces our central concept through a circular approach and the identity of the magazine is evolving with the publication of each issue. Therefore, contributors are essential to DISTIGMO’s identity and voice. The articles, essays, sketches and photographs that compose each issue enrich and guide the magazine’s direction and overall narrative.

DISTIGMO, in greek, means “double point” or “two moments,” referring to the punctuation mark known in English as the colon (:). A double point is used in writing to emphasize and introduce ideas and in this context, DISTIGMO seeks to highlight stories and provoke critical thought about the architectural landscape and its many dimensions.
