Building Design is one of the leading architectural magazines in the United Kingdom.
According to ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulations), the magazine's circulation for the year ending June 2008 was 22,848. The publishing company is UBM Built Environment, a division of United Business Media, which also publishes Building and Property Week.[1] Amanda Baillieu and Ellis Woodman are Building Design's executive editor and editor respectively.
The magazine allows free access to breaking news, blogs and video content on its website, but since September 2010 it has charged a subscription for editorials, building and technical studies.[2]
Building Design hosts the annual awards for Architect of the Year and Young Architect of the Year.[1] It also awards its Carbuncle Cup to "the worst building of the year", as a tongue-in-cheek counterpart to the Stirling Prize.[3][4]
[edit] Campaigns
Building Design campaigned with the Twentieth Century Society for Robin Hood Gardens, a Brutalist housing estate in Poplar, London, to be listed and retained.[5][6] It has likewise argued against the demolition the unnecessary demolition of old school buildings.[7]
