I know someone who is casually (but not professionally) interested in architecture, and would like to give them a gift of a subscription to an architecture magazine.
Can anyone recommend a good magazine for this? One that is neither too technical nor professionally-oriented?
I'd appreciate any kind of help or direction with this.

I like Mark. Very well designed. Well curated selection of projects.
2G used to be the absolute best in the world but sadly they have stopped publishing on paper and you can on subscribe to a pdf version which just isn't the same : (

You may find something at Coverjunkie. You can browse around at least.

There's Architect Magazine, which I guess is owned by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Personally, I like edc as well (edcmag.com).

Architectural Record, Azure, Dwell and Architectural Digest for the layperson.
I personally keep a Architectural Record subscription, along with the Architect subscription that comes with AIA dues and a subscription to Log. I hate Dwell, I like Azure, and if I had more time, I'd get my Azure sub renewed.

Artichoke magazine. I find it great in the sense it's not specific to one area of design. Showcasing architecture, design, objects, people and products.
Although it's Published in Australia the annual subscription was great for generating ideas.

I like the Architectural Review, and the web archive that comes with a subscription is great.

Detail (German magazine) and The Plan (Italian). Mark is awesome, too.

Yaah, Mark's a beautiful magazine that I think would appeal best to someone outside of architecture. Also Icon does a good job of giving architecture, art, and design equal coverage and weight.

I love A+U but it's expensive.

Hi Mark, i like www.isplora.com for architecture in Italy. Give it a look. ;-)
For residential architecture, I really like HOUSES. It's purely Australian in content, but really great.
