"Links practice and research"
Publishes quarterly: March, June, September, December
Editors from different places: UK, US, Sweden, Finland etc.
Website: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=ARQ
Published by the Cambridge University Press - Printed in the UK
These publications are based on a main topic usually - for example, Vol.5 No.2 2001 "Building Simply" or Vol. 11. No.2 "Global Practice Implications".
Within the journals, there are a range of articles centering on the main topic, as well as an obituary of a famous architect, information about past/present architects as well as a mini biography and background, architectural/planning articles, historical articles, business articles, forums, a few scattered plans, and many pictures. Because of the range of countries/editors involved, the magazine is very international and not completely based on UK architecture.
The articles are quite narrative based at times, and not as formal as The Japanese Architect. They are also restrained on the technical aspects and are more like discussions or descriptions. There are also argumentative, and challenging articles on environment and conventional architecture (research driven). Also, the topics in the journal are not all specifically about buildings, but rather embrace the thinking and theory behind construction (e.g.: modernism, design, space, sustainability, etc). It could be described as being based on the culture of architecture than the buildings themselves.
