描述

AA Files is the Architectural Association School of Architecture’s journal of record and the successor to a long line of AA house journals (including titles such as AA Notes, AA Journal, Arena and AAQ) that began with the founding of the school in 1847. Launched in 1981 by the AA’s then chairman, Alvin Boyarsky, the journal appears twice a year and is sent out to members of the Architectural Association and individual subscribers and is distributed to a select global network of bookshops for sale.

AA Files 59 features essays by the writer William Firebrace on Marseille, the psychotherapist Adam Phillips on getting lost, the architect Adam Caruso on analogue architecture, the historian Pier Vittorio Aureli on Palladio and a conversation between architect Tom Emerson and artist Richard Wentworth.
