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.
This July/August 2026 issue is dedicated to ‘Industry’, looking towards the future of construction, with a focus on AI, sustainability, and an adjusted relationship to material. Inside, Steve Webb time-travels to 2126, describing the post-carbon world as a realistic utopia where there is a unified commitment to environmental equilibrium, overconsumption is unheard of, and local materials such as timber or stone have replaced fossil-fuel products. Elsewhere, you’ll find a celebration of Dieter Rams’ legacy as a product designer—tracing his career back to his fortuitous beginnings at the German consumer products company Braun—and Hans Larsson explores the escalating threat of AI urbanism on the future of humanity. Plus, discover innovative architectural projects spanning London, Brussels, Jalisco, Cachoeira de Macacu, and more.
