The Architect's Newspaper is an architectural publication that covers the United States in monthly printed issues and online. The paper was founded in 2003 by William Menking, editor-in-chief, and Diana Darling, publisher, to bring architects and designers news relevant to architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, lighting designers, interior designers, academics, developers, contractors, and other parties interested in the built urban environment.
Content both in print and online ranges from a mix of topical essays, opinionated columns, project analyses, firm profiles, interviews, new products, reviews of exhibitions and books, a gossip column, plus an updated calendar of important events and competitions. Today, the paper is often referred to as ‘AN’ –the letters of which are depicted in its logotype. It has been praised for "balanced and accessible" coverage, although its target audience is architects and design professionals.[1]
History
[edit]When first launched in 2003, The Architect’s Newspaper featured news only relating to the architecture scene on the East Coast and in particular, New York, which was where the company was (and still is) based. From 2003 to 2016, The Architect's Newspaper ran three regional print editions covering the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast–each on a monthly basis. A South West edition was also printed, though not at regular intervals. In 2016, the paper opted to print only national editions which are now published every month. In 2015, The Architect’s Newspaper launched AN Interior to run alongside the paper's print format. As denoted in its name the publication focused particularly on interior design. Editions are published four times a year and take on a more magazine-type style in comparison to the paper.
