Architects' Journal is a professional architecture magazine published monthly in London by Metropolis International. Each issue features in-depth coverage of current affairs in the sector, together with profiles of recently completed buildings. Ten times per year, the magazine is accompanied by its sister publication AJ Specification.
The Architects' Journal's website, which attracts around 8 million views annually,[1] focuses on breaking news and hosts the publication's investigative reporting and campaigns. These include the RetroFirst initiative, which promotes the integration of sustainability principles across architectural practice.
In 2018 Architects' Journal received the Magazine of the Year award at the Professional Publishers Association Awards,[2] and it was named Editorial Brand of the Year at the International Building Press Awards in 2020, 2021 and 2023.[3][4]
History
[edit]The first edition of what is now Architects' Journal was published in 1895. Originally titled The Builder's Journal and Architectural Record, it was renamed The Builder's Journal and Architectural Engineer between 1906 and 1910, and then The Architects and Builder's Journal from 1911 to 1919, before adopting its current name.[5][6]
In December 2015, the title's then-owner, Top Right Group, rebranded as Ascential.[7] In January 2017, the company announced its intention to sell 13 "heritage titles", including Architects' Journal. On 1 June 2017, it was confirmed that the titles had been acquired by Metropolis International.[8]
