Founded in 1896, the AR has a proud tradition of challenge and criticism, scouring the globe for architecture that provokes and inspires, and relying on its immense archive and critically acclaimed writers to shape architectural discourse. Combine this with a rich history of contemporary editorial design and you have a magazine of interest beyond its natural architectural audience. For October 2023, this appropriately sand-coloured issue of AR focuses on deserts, seeking to challenge their perception as inhospitable, empty landscapes through built projects, essays on ‘experimental Saharanism’ and Donald Judd's relationship with the Texan desert, and a visually pleasing double spread of historic postage stamps, each offering a different representation of the landscape around the world.
