Since 1896, The Architectural Review has scoured the globe for architecture that challenges and inspires. With fearless storytelling, independent critical voices and thought-provoking projects from around the world, the AR explores the forces that shape the homes, cities and places we inhabit. Buildings old and new are chosen as prisms through which arguments and broader narratives are constructed, getting under their skin to uncover the social, political and ecological landscapes in which they sit. In print, online, in film and on podcast, the AR continues to be a leading authority on contemporary architecture and architectural culture.
