Introduced firstly in 1957 under the editorship of Bruno Alfieri, and the auspices the Belgian ADAC and Italian Olivetti Company, Zodiac set high ambitions for  the extemporization of an architectural discourse as a “supernational contribution” (Zodiac, 1957). Published twice per year in Italian, French, German, and English with an international editorial commitee the magazine focused on an equal pairing of strong theoretical pieces, with architectural reporting and lasted up to 1973.

The second iteration of the magazine followed in 1988 till 1999 with an additional run of 21 volumes.
