'''''Volume Magazine''''' is a quarterly international magazine published in Amsterdam.

''Volume Magazine'' is a project by [http://archis.org Archis] (Amsterdam), [http://oma.nl OMA] (Rotterdam) and [http://www.c-lab.columbia.edu/ C-Lab] ([[Columbia University]], New York). ''Volume'' was created as a global idea platform to voice architecture, any way, anywhere, anytime.

''Volume'' is a dynamic experimental think tank devoted to the process of spatial and cultural reflexivity. It goes beyond architecture’sarchitecture's definition of ‘making buildings’ and reaches out for global views on architecture and design, broader attitudes to social structures, and creating environments to live in. The project represents the expansion of architectural territories and the new mandate for design.

Many prominent architectural practitioners have worked in ''Volume'''s Amsterdam office in recent years, including Nick Axel, Amelia Borg, Brendan Cormier,<ref>[http://http://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/author/brendan-cormier Brendan Cormier]</ref> Rory Hyde,<ref>[http://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/author/rory-hyde Rory Hyde]</ref> Timothy Moore,<ref>[http://architectureau.com/contributors/Moore-Timothy/ Timothy Moore]</ref> and Simon Pennec.

The Volume project continues [[Archis (magazine)|Archis]], magazine for Architecture, City, and Visual Culture and its predecessors since 1929. Het Katholiek Bouwblad, Goed Wonen, Wonen/TABK, and finally Archis wanted architecture to mean something. For the religious perception, for the emancipation of the working class, for the social consciousness, for philosophy, i.e. for an ideal.

‘The art of being proactive’. Volume creates the agenda. It stands for a journalism which detects and anticipates, is proactive and even pre-emptive - a journalism which uncovers potentialities, rather than covering done deals.
