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.

The Silent Giant Returns: Steel’s High-Tech, Low-Carbon Comeback

4 weeks ago | architectmagazine.com | Blaine Brownell

In conversations about structural materials, steel has been upstaged in recent years by wood and concrete.
