Oppositions
Oppositions was an architectural journal produced by the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies from 1973 to 1984.

The journal was designed by Massimo Vignelli.[2] It collaborated with Arquitecturas Bis, a Barcelona-based architecture magazine.[3] The same writers published articles in both titles which frequently cited each other.[3]
