This ground-breaking quarterly aims to act as an international forum for practitioners and academics by publishing cutting-edge work covering all aspects of architectural endeavour. 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. Reviews of significant buildings are published at a length and in a detail matched today by few other architectural journals. Articles in arq 8:2 include: Architectural research and disciplinarity, The sublime and the Azuma House by Tadao Ando, The 'architecture of colour-form': Adrian Stokes and Venice, Vernacular values in public housing, Building and exhibition layout: Sainsbury Wing compared with Castelvecchio.
