ARCH+ is the leading discursive magazine for architecture and urbanism. Published quarterly, ARCH+ examines the cultural and political framework of spatial production through comprehensive and monothematic issues. Founded in 1967 with a focus on critical reflection of the societal demands of the built environment, ARCH+ sheds light on specific topics while incorporating current discussions from other disciplines into the discourse on architecture and urbanism.

In addition to print publications, ARCH+ has developed various ongoing series of discussions. The ARCH+ features bring the discourse to relevant institutions such as cultural centers, universities, and biennials, often including visits to groundbreaking new buildings. The ARCH+ Salons foster critical discourse in an informal setting, while ARCH+ displays are experimental exhibitions in the fields of architecture, urbanism, and design.

Furthermore, ARCH+ initiates large-scale thematic research projects in collaboration with curators, experts, and associated cultural institutions. These activities, carried out by the non-profit ARCH+ gGmbH, ensure the critical and non-profit-oriented journalistic independence of the magazine. However, the income from subscriptions and sales is not sufficient to finance this ambitious program.

You can support this non-profit cultural and scientific work by making a donation. ARCH+ is edited by Nikolaus Kuhnert and Anh-Linh Ngo and supported by a scientific advisory board that facilitates connections to various fields of architectural knowledge. The dedicated editorial team and a broad network of emerging and established actors from academia and practice create an environment where new impulses are immediately embraced and implemented in projects that aim to change the discourse itself.
