Architect Magazine [1] [2] is the successor to Architecture , one of a series of periodicals published from before World War I by the American Institute of Architects. [3]

Contents

Overview

This is the sixth [lower-alpha 1] iteration [3] [4] of a magazine about the field associated with American Institute of Architects and its members. This iteration stylizes their publication's name with a capital M: Architect Magazine, with Architectureal Design as a subtitle. [5]

At times, they run a series by a famous, award-winning architect; in 2007. One such series won an award. [2] In 2014, they wrote about 1898-born Julia Morgan, [6] a "Pioneering Female Architect" [7] who, because she "was experienced in reinforced concrete as she was in European design," was chosen, in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, to design the rebuilding of a major hotel.

History

The first of American Institute of Architects's periodicals was the Quarterly Bulletin. This was followed, beginning in 1913, by: [3]

As of when the last of these ceased publication (2006), the title was Architecture: The AIA Journal. [3] The successor is not owned by but is affiliated with AIA, and uses their name on their masthead . [8]

Features

In addition to running interviews with and articles about those in the field, be it in teaching about [1] or doing, [2] some of their articles go beyond the actual design work, such as labor conditions for their projects, both in non-Western countries [9] [10] and in the USA. [11] [12] They've covered other types of architectural disputes, including international ones such as regarding "the Eiffel Tower to temporarily alter its silhouette." [13] [14]

Notes
