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]

Overview

[edit]

This is the sixth[a] 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

[edit]

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

  • Journal of the American Institute of Architects (through 1928)
  • Octagon (1929-1994), at which point the above title was resumed, through 1957
  • The American Institute of Architects Journal (AIA Journal)
  • Architecture[4]

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

[edit]

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]
