New in the magazine

ASB magazine presents a complex summary of current events in the area of architecture, construction and development. In addition, information on investments, new projects and interesting implementations and articles on architecture and design, as well as bringing analyses of the market and construction-technical themes. The JAGA publishers’ dynamic and the contemporary needs of the construction market also influence the direction of ASB, which is progressively profiling itself as a business magazine about construction and architecture. From 2006, a specialist internet portal and on-line magazine www.asb.sk has been in operation which, from last year, has a new, better design (more information on page 60 – 61 of this edition plan). From 2007 realized yearly ASB GALA evening, on which are awarding prices in categories: Personality from Architecture and Building Company of the Year, Construction Company of the Year and Developer of the Year (more information on page 62 of this edition plan) has been held. Both these activities contribute greatly to increasing awareness of the ASB brand.
