Hardcore architecture 2015–2018

Hardcore architecture explored the intersection between living spaces and the vibrant history of underground U.S. hardcore bands from the 1980s. Launched in June 2014, this project began as a blog showcasing images of homes associated with iconic bands of the era published on Maximum rocknroll. Each issue delved into a specific topic, from tracking the addresses listed in Maximum rocknroll and utilizing Google Street View to visualize these key locations, to highlighting influential figures associated with the publication, such as Les Evans and Grace Ambrose, one of the latest coordinators of the magazine. Edited by Marc Fischer, the last issue of Hardcore Architecture featured a retrospective on the zines and paper ephemera that shaped the punk scene. The printed issues were a supplement of Marc Fischer's website https://www.tumblr.com/ hardcorearchitecture.
