ArchitectureBoston

ArchitectureBoston is published by the Boston Society of Architects to explore the ways that architecture influences and is influenced by our environment and our society.

A benefit of membership in the BSA, the print magazine appears quarterly. ArchitectureBoston also is distributed to AIA members throughout New England and New York City as well as politicians and policy makers, design schools, media representatives and subscribers.

Total circulation is approximately 25,000, and the magazine (both print and online) accepts advertising.

Subscriptions

ArchitectureBoston is mailed to members of the Boston Society of Architects and AIA members in New England and New York City. The subscription rate for others is $26 per year. Contact 617-951-1433 x228 or email.

Editorial Submissions

Unlike many other architecture publications, we do not typically feature individual projects. We welcome stories that connect architecture to social, cultural, political, economic, or business trends; strong writing and provocative thinking are always a plus. Each issue of the magazine focuses on a theme, and stories are usually assigned six months before publication.

Proposals for articles, opinion pieces and reviews (books and other media) are always welcome. Our contributors are not necessarily architects, and in the past have included politicians, social workers, ministers, engineers, lawyers, photographers, students and academics. Some stories are specifically about Boston or the New England region, but many stories are of general interest. Story pitches from contributors in other regions are welcome.

As in pitching stories to any publication, read and analyze a few issues to understand our style, audience, and format. The best approach is to query the editor with a story idea, which allows us to help shape the story and saves you from wasting time on a speculative article that may not meet our editorial needs. If you haven’t written for us, please include writing samples and a short resume. Letters with email addresses will receive more timely responses. Query letters may be sent to: Elizabeth Padjen FAIA, Editor, ArchitectureBoston, 52 Broad Street, Boston, MA 02109. Emailed submissions are encouraged.
