Very consciously set up as an interdisciplinary medium, the journal presents not only theory and research on architecture but also philosophical texts on art in general, critiques of particular artworks, sociological reflections on urban management, reflection with photography as the medium itself, and so on – as long as spatiality remains the main axis for thought. Some pieces come in the form of an interviews, some are derived from recent graduation theses, and some can also be just photographic contemplations.
With the magazine established by a group of then still students at the Faculty of Architecture, its authors mostly come from they younger generation of Slovene architects, humanities researchers and various other practitioners or students of art and architecture. Some of the writers appearing in the magazine a bit more regularly are Boris Beja, Miloš Kosec, Kaja Kraner, Izidor Barši and Tomo Stanič.
A regular feature are translations of either classical authors such as Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Kracauer, Theodor W. Adorno, Gilles Deleuze or Frederic Jameson, and of more contemporary pieces by the likes of Douglas Spencer, Keti Chukhrov, and Silvia Groaz.
As some topics and texts call for their own publication, Praznine also runs (since 2014) its own book series called Drugi prostori ([Other spaces]). It, for example, features a book by the young writer and architect Miloš Kosec on ruins as architectural objects, and a book of translated interviews (or discussions) between the French architect Jean Nouvel and the philosopher Jean Baudrillard.
