Product Description

Blueprint the leading magazine for architecture and design constantly questions conventional thinking with original photography and illustration and with sharp inquisitive journalism. Its unique large format and high standards of production allow it to cover brilliantly a broad spectrum of highly visual disciplines from architecture to product design and from furniture to graphics. It has always aimed to set the agenda leading rather than simply following the pack. Perhaps most importantly though Blueprint has never compromised - it isn`t afraid to challenge conventional thought or the establishment line - tackling the big architecture and design issues head-on and always striving to get to the important story first. The magazine is also genuinely international boasting correspondents in New York San Francisco Japan Iceland and across Europe. Perhaps most importantly though Blueprint realises that design and architecture don`t exist in a bubble. Inspiration comes from many sources including art politics economics and sport and the magazine aims to show how the industry we work in affects every aspect of our lives. Blueprint looks beyond the big projects by the famous architects to discover how cities really function and how modern society can be improved. This is why the magazine remains as important today as when it was launched and why Blueprint remains the *must-read* of the discerning architect and designer.
