My boss has been a subscriber of british magazine The Architectural Review since the mid 70's, he's got them all in the office and I'm reviewing some old numbers... maybe it sounds a waste of time to read old magazines but there are some pretty and interesting stuff -and funny ads of primitive drawing devices, the first CAD softwares or old furniture-...
I'm reading the new numbers too and its a good balance of eye-candy reports together with serious and reflexive content.
El Croquis is great but expensive. There are some spanish magazines that are quite interesting. One of them, called Tectonica its the equivalent of the german construction-focused Detail and its pretty good too.
I read some Metropolis and Architectural Record articles on their websites and find the first much more attractive and interesting than the second. The Domus ones I've read on the net are good too.
I remember that french magazine L'Architecture D'Aujourd'hui, japanese A+U and spanish ON Design were good resources when I was in school.
Most often inspires me:
Abitare (Italian)â€â€architecture, photos AND drawings/interiors/furniture
One of my biggest problems w/ most arch mags in general is lack of drawings/diagrams and a focus on pretty pictures. So I'd say any mag that includes these is the cream.
el croquis hands down
detail isn't far behind
prototypo is cool too...
then a+u, abitare, arch review, arch record...
although i miss the old days of architecture and p/a
yeah, i could never understand why architecture didn't do something
to amend their obviously dwindling readership...i mean besides the
obviously awful mid-seventies graphic design of the last couple years
or so...that and the fact that they didn't change their price even though
their magazine is basically a pamphlet at this point...and could anyone
besides joseph giovannini write an article over there?...
i believe my subscription has run out as well..now i get dwell, metropolis, el croquis, abitare, arch record, ca, surface instead..
progressive architecture is no longer in publication, right?
so i doubt that a subscription exists, but i dont know...i would guess that the best source for finding back issues would be a university.
best periodical
best architecture magazine?

question:
does anyone know if a subscription exists or best way to get hold of 'progressive architecture magazine"
oppositions- an oldy but goody.
i'm also a fan of architectural design.

Ah - PA, brings me back (fondly?) to the early 80's. Old school style <
Dwell for residential
Arch Record for work and a quick catch-up
el croquis for the monographs
Architectural Review hands down for monthly coverage.
Detail Magazine (now available completely in English).
some magazines on architecture, urbanism and art
