AA FILES 63

Description

AA Files is the Architectural Association School of Architecture’s journal of record. Launched in 1981 by the AA School’s then chairman Alvin Boyarsky, the journal appears twice a year and is sent out to members of the Architectural Association, individual subscribers and is distributed to a global network of bookshops. Currently under the editorship of Thomas Weaver, AA Files looks to promote original and engaging writing on architecture. It does this by drawing both on the AA School’s own academic research, lecture programme, exhibitions and events, as well by a rich and eclectic mix of architectural scholarship from all over the world.
AA Files 63 features contributions by: Pier Vittorio Aureli, Adrian Forty, Thomas Weaver, John Winter, Niall Hobhouse, Pamela Johnston, Alessandra Ponte, Caroline Evans, Ashley Paine, Inderbir Singh Riar, Mark Lyon, Steven Spier, Mark Crinson, Victoria Watson, Timothy Brittain-Catlin, Tao Zhu, Laurent Stalder and Mario Botta.
