For over 120 years, the AR has provided architecture students an armoury of provocative ideas, invaluable building references and a critical understanding of the social, political and cultural worlds in which architecture sits

What we do

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.

Typology

In the AR’s Typology series, each building type is spliced open and its entrails closely examined. We collect the histories, evolutions and contemporary examples of each building type in one place: a complete short history of everything from housing estates to market halls, and prisons to public toilets.

Outrage

Begun by the infamous Ian Nairn in 1955, Outrage is a continuing campaign against the most egregious of architectural misdeeds: from failures of government, property developers, and capitalism to greenwashing, ecological violence and social injustice.

Competitions

The AR provides you with a weekly curated selection of competitions, from radically challenging proposals to those that have the creative scope to test new ideas and make good architecture that will serve its use well for many years to come.

‘The AR feels different to other publications. There is a fantastic sense of refreshing curiosity and it features architects who are dead, alive, young, old, and even a couple I’ve never heard of – which I love!’
Shelley McNamara, Grafton Architects
