Founded in 1896, the AR has a proud tradition of challenge and criticism, scouring the globe for architecture that provokes and inspires, and relying on its immense archive and critically acclaimed writers to shape architectural discourse. Combine this with a rich history of contemporary editorial design and you have a magazine of interest beyond its natural architectural audience
The September 2024 issue concerns itself with the oldest building material known: dirt. While raising global temperatures melt away Siberian permafrost for the first time in 650,000 years – as seen by the cover image – it reveals the literal layers of planetary history and human intervention.
This issue is distinctly archeological and historic in its perspective. The ground keeps the record of violence and resilience in Palestine and Warsaw, while providing hopeful foundations in Ecuador and Italy.
