The scans of the magazine issues were sourced at archive.org were they were being published openly (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) by Edizioni di Comunità, in two batches of thousands pages each. They were collected, split and orderd into individual issues, corrected for paggination, and reuploaded as flipbooks at the Architectural Periodicals Database server. 

Since the original scans were significantly downsampled, certain visuals appear blurry, while text, drawings and sketches maintain a satisfying resolution. If you hold copies of the magazine that we can use to re-scan, please let us know: info@architecturalperiodicals.com
