Welcome to Architectural Design (AD) Journal

Axiomatic Editions, an imprint of ORO Editions based in New York, is pleased and proud to announce that it is the new publisher of Architectural Design (AD).

Founded in 1930, AD is an influential and prestigious publication. It combines the currency and topicality of a newsstand journal with the rigor and production qualities of a book. With an almost unrivaled reputation worldwide, it is consistently at the forefront of cultural thought and design.

Upcoming 2025 Issues

The first three issues to be published by Axiomatic Editions are:

This AD explores how architectural thinking and spatial proposition can bring vitality to situations not usually seen within the traditional realms of practice, including theatrical and exuberant staging.

Architects have designed some of the most iconic items of furniture. This AD features ingenious architect-protagonists of this genre, and explores the recent history and chronology of architectural involvement in the discipline.

Tradition and precedent inspire invention, architectural drawing, and media practice. In this issue, guest editors Mark Dorrian, Riet Eeckhout, and Arnaud Hendrickx present a series of encounters with printed objects, leading to their transformation and re-imagination in a series of new works.
