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.
Features essays by the architectural historian Gillian Darley on Ian Nairn, the writer William Firebrace on the brick churches of Germany’s Baltic coast, the historian Antony Moulis on Le Corbusier and Jorn Utzon, the architect Jeremy Dixon on Tatlin’s tower and a new, complete translation of Roland Barthes’ essay on the Eiffel Tower.
