Architectural Review is an international monthly magazine published in London since 1896. It includes articles on architecture, interior design, landscaping and urban planning, as well as theoretical texts on the subject.

It emerged as a publication in charge of collecting articles related to architecture and Arts & Crafts inspired by John Ruskin and Augustus Pugin, described as "A magazine for the artist and the craftsman."

The first issues were large format and sought to establish a discussion between the different aspects of architecture. In its beginnings, it acted primarily as an organ of the aforementioned Arts & Crafts. As time went by, he changed to dedicate himself more to classical architecture and sought to collect any international event. It became a practical example of architecture that provided architects, through drawings and photographs, with universal patterns for the various architectural styles of the time.

In 1913 he adapted to the new means of printing and photographic reproduction, publishing a new and luxurious format. During the First World War he set himself the task of documenting the destruction that occurred in Belgium and France.

In the 1920s and 1930s he became more actively involved in new architectural movements. He proposed ideas and plans for the League of Nations, reprinted speeches by Louis Sullivan, and commissioned pieces from Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Berthold Lubetkin, and Erno Goldfinger. Also at that time Nikolaus Pevsner began his career as an art and architectural historian. From those years on, Architectural Review became the leading English-language architecture magazine.

After World War II Pevsner was succeeded by Colin Rowe, who also made notable contributions to the magazine. The 1950s witnessed a new change brought about by the awareness of British architects to rebuild a shattered country. Starting in 1960, the publication had to face a growing commercial risk. They published works such as the Manplan series, which featured photographic reports focused on the problems of Great Britain, which were complemented by detailed essays on the proposed solutions.

During the 1970s, AR descended into a situation of crisis and self-criticism typical of the end of modernism. It would not be until 1980 when it would regain its status under the direction of Peter Davey. He began to edit special issues on the environment, landscape, art and ecology, and architecture and climate, seeking to position himself in favor of environmental issues. But that did not mean he ignored the protagonists of High-tech, who also had reports from those moments.

Currently, the magazine's plot focuses on pluralism, parametricism and the social implication of architecture, and continues to be skeptical of fashions and trends.
