Generously illustrated throughout, Architectural Research Quarterly is edited with busy practitioners and academics in mind. Contents include building design, urbanism, history, theory, environmental design, construction, materials, information technology, and practice.

Dilemmas of the PFI; Primitive; Layers of practice, theory and experience at East Lodge; Lessons at the roadside; A primitive Exchange: on rhetoric and architectural symbol; Baptism and sacrifice: cosmogony as private ontology; White space in northern light: two churches analysed; Other people's places; Book reviews.
