ABOUT


A—D is a leading forum for contemporary architectural discourse and culture, engaging diverse publics in critical reflection on the spaces we imagine, create, and inhabit.

Founded in 1930, A—D interrogates architecture, design, and aesthetic practice, grounding its perspectives in the present while remaining attentive to the lineages of thought and practice that precede us. Bringing emergent ideas into conversation with the cultural conditions and contemporary challenges that shape spatial practice, the magazine promotes incisive and provocative texts alongside compelling visual narratives to foster a lively space of intellectual exchange and experimentation.

A—D publishes themed issues, curated with international collaborators, guiding readers through the spatial cultures of cities and regions worldwide and toward the futures these practices seed, with a spirit of experimentation, innovation, and play.

A—D is published by Architectural Design and distributed by ARTBOOK D.A.P. Distributed Art Publishers, located at 75 Broad Street, Suite 630, New York, NY 10004. ISSN: 0003-8504
