Hardcore Architecture by Marc Fischer & Public Collectors

A full color, photo-filled booklet from Public Collectors for the much-publicized project Hardcore Architecture. Hardcore Architecture explores the relationship between the architecture of living spaces and the history of American hardcore bands in the 1980s. Other underground or marginal forms of music are sometimes included in the project where applicable. Band addresses in this booklet were discovered using contact listings found in demo tape and record reviews published from 1982-89 in the magazine Maximum RocknRoll. Google Street View was used to capture photos of the homes. Street names and numbers are removed to respect the privacy of people currently living at these addresses.
Dimensions: 6 X 9", 40 pages
