Intentions of the group are well represented in its introductory statement, signed by Adolf Behne and Martin Wagner: 'What we don't want. We don't want to give this magazine a facade, and we don't want to styalize its front. Therefore no achievement in the field of architecture may be excluded, because it wasn't measured in time, and because it doesn't fit the "frame." – We don't want to make a magazine for those... justified or unjustified ... already recognized, who have the say everywhere anyway. We don't want to conform with official restraints. We already have enough publishing that is not of help. Our task is to gather all thoughts and works which can contribute to make Berlin a place of prosperous work and leisure.' Issue No. 1 features photographs of L. Moholy-Nagy, Sasha Stone and Otto Umbehr, Lucia Moholy and Cousemüller, contributions by Martin Wagner and Adolf Behne.
