Low Tech Magazine

2024
.
Barcelona, Spain

Low-tech Magazine underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices. Operating on a solar-powered server since a few years ago, the website is available in multiple languages, and the magazine has been in print since 2019, publishing a maximum of 12 well-researched stories annually.

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

Low Tech Magazine's website evokes the charm of an old newspaper with its low-saturation RGB colors, dithered images, and antique white background. The design is simple, structured, and utilizes a grid layout, creating a printed aesthetic. Notably, the magazine runs on a solar-powered server, aligning with its commitment to sustainability. The use of static site design, default typefaces, and off-line reading options reflects a back-to-basics approach, reducing energy consumption significantly. This intentional simplicity ensures accessibility for visitors with older computers and less reliable internet connections, making it a thoughtful and eco-friendly online reading experience.
