"ACTivity" + "ARchitecture"*

ACTAR is a leading Barcelona based publisher of groundbreaking books in architecture, graphic design, and contemporary art. Our publishing program is focused on the works of established and emerging architects, designers, and photographers at the forefront of contemporary praxis and theory. Actar titles represent a broad cross section of the seminal works and individuals who affect the character of current research and practice and its relationship to the larger societal context. Actar is a publishing house for exploring open relationships between the creative mediums of the visual arts, between producers and users, between publisher and reader.
