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 that were reviewed in 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 figures associated with the publication and that music, such as Grace Ambrose, one of the latest coordinators of the magazine. Edited by Marc Fischer, the last issue of Hardcore architecture featured a selection of paper advertising ephemera used by participants in the hardcore scene. The printed issues were a supplement of Marc Fischer's website, https://hardcorearchitecture.blog/.
