Paprika!, the Yale School of Architecture’s often-monthly, student-published broadsheet measures 25 x 22.75 in., is printed in quantities of 1,000 on an off-white newsprint, and distributed across campus, institutions, and online, and now expanding through a nationwide subscription service and worldwide readership. As architecture students, we are constantly shifting through and sorting what matters. Who is enacting change? What are the important conversations missing within architectural discourse? Paprika! is a material imprint of these questions, a constructed place where ideas unfold, convictions collide, and words work to reconcile what we do with why we do it. As such, Paprika! has become a collective menagerie of essays, manifestos, drawings, dispatches, sounds, ruminations, and provocations. It is both a whisper and a shout. It is both timely and timeless. Paprika! is a call for active participation in our education and our discipline.
