TOP ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINES

Gotan

Hi,

A few Magazine's subscriptions seems to have ended at the office.

I want some new mags...

What would be the best mags to have...enough of the glossy pictures already, good details and insightful text would be nice too
(like in a porno mag!)

I subscribe to Domus, Detail and Shinkenchiku. They are kind of magazines you can still pick up years from now and learn something from them.

Suscribed to
Arch Record
Arch Review
Frame mag (nice one for Interior Dez)

I buy from time to time

Dwell (cheap and good)
Metropolis (best article so far)

If I had the budget
El Croquis
Detail (the german mag)

wettbewerb aktuell (german) is interesting.
features submitted competitions and winning entries for germany and most of the larger european competitions as well.

harvard design mag
el croquis, though it is expensive.
detail is pretty good. german, but has english summaries. it's really good for researching... details.

i really like assemblage [now ceased] -- many really well written articles and i can get it electronically through a university

also AD has had many very good thematic issues over the last few years on emerging / contempory architectural issues

I would like to subscribe to Detail, but I'm not sure whether to subscribe to the new English edition (6 issues/yr) or the original German edition. (10 issues/yr) I was sent a sample English mag and the text was very good. Will I be missing out on something (besides the additional issues) if I choose the English edition?

Does anybody read any of the new (or still around) theory or pseudo-theory mags (306090, Log, Thresholds, Perspecta, Pamphlet Architecture)? Personally I've come to be a fan of Daidalos - but need a good croquis fix every now and then.

do you people ever read books? no pictures, but the new book on the world trade center mess is full of gossip and slams on your favorite snoring critics.

metropolis is the hotness. their writers (karrie jacobs, philip nobel, et. al) are ridonk.

I forgot that one...didn't read it since university...where it was free at the library...
Architectural Design (AD)...I think it's from the UK...

Amazing mag...with deep-down essays and good ''marginal''-like projects

It really is what do you get along with my subscription to Architecture Review - the magazine is just so thoroughout and intelligent.

So I usually get something with a lifestyle and design theme, wallpaper, metropolis, now thinking of ICON

I don't think L'Arca and Azure have been mentioned.
Second Detail and A+U
Can never decide whether el Croquis is worth it

All the usual suspects are here. Try 32 Beijing/New York. It is a nice emerging publication.
