Summary of Journal
New York Architecture and Design
Published twenty times a year
Website: www.archpaper.com
This paper as the title suggests is based heavily and pretty much completely on traditional newspaper format with concise, short articles written in prose (Much less formal than the technical, construction based articles in The Japan Architect). The Architect's Newspaper includes architectural advertisements (lighting, construction, bathroom fittings), photography articles, information about consultants, information about architects, planning articles, new technology, and interior and landscape design.
As this newspaper is in fact, a newspaper- the information is fairly recent and informs readers of developments with recent projects. It's up to date with building projects in the New York area and occasionally there are articles about foreign architecture. The articles are not in-depth but rather skim the surface of detailed information about buildings and more frequently focuses on the social aspect of architecture- such as detailing arguments and objections of residents against proposed projects (e.g.: MOMA building by Jean Nouvel). Compared to The Japanese Architect and the ARQ, the Architect's Newspaper is much more engaging and easier to understand for non-Architects.
The information included in the paper is not limited to architecture in a building sense but is general and talks about many aspects of architecture as well as a mix of other artistic disciplines (architecture, photography, fashion and hair styling).
