Architect Magazine

The publication started as the Journal of the American Institute of Architects (Vol. #1 - Issue #1) in January 1944 and continued until 1951, when it was renamed The American Institute of Architects Journal. After the AIA Journal ceased publication in August 1976, it was succeeded by Architecture magazine. This magazine served as the official publication for the American Institute of Architects and was a key resource in the field until it was bought by Hanley-Wood in 2006, leading to its discontinuation and the introduction of a new magazine called Architect.

In his book Y’Avant-Garde Architecture (Toto, 1998), Japanese architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori theorized the subdivision of Japanese architecture into two schools of thought: the red school and the white school.
