Thematic issues
Each issue of the AR places architecture within a larger world, engaging with ideas and conditions to assess the impact of
architectural decisions. Coming at architecture from a slight
tangent, the filters of tourism, darkness, preservation, money,
oceans or failure drive editorial choices and look at the bigger
picture.
Building studies
The AR tells the story behind buildings, and the complex
layered contexts into which they are woven. Every project is
fully illustrated, with beautiful photography, drawings and
details, contributing to an archive of the most culturally significant and architecturally interesting buildings of our time.
History and theory
Accompanying your research and assignments, the AR is an
unique resource to find reading lists, watch films and delve into
an expanding archive of essays, interviews and campaigns.
Outrage denounces architectural misdeeds while Typology compiles short histories of everything from market halls to
public toilets to housing estates.
Reputations
Rem Koolhaas, Minoru Yamasaki, Charlotte Perriand: every issue
features the portrait of an influencer or agitator. The AR
looks back at their life, work and reputation to break with historic
canons, investigate architecture’s most significant characters, dead or alive, and understand the resonance of their legacy today.
