Talk:Architectural Design

Moved from the article

Stephen Games adds: 'Those of us who remember Architectural Design in its earlier incarnation will have serious doubts about the truth of the claim in the paragraph above that "Its golden period was during the late 1970s and 1980s." On the contrary, it was the fact that AD was already a groundbreaking magazine, especially under the editorship of Monica Pidgeon, that made it an attractive purchase for Andreas Papadakis in the 1970s. It had previously been the UK's self-appointed house magazine of hyper-modernism, publishing work by Archigram, for example, and promoting the interests of Team Ten, but this was eventually compromised by its flirtation with the psychedelic graphics of magazines like Oz, and by a corresponding blindspot for intelligible prose. It was nonetheless capable, in the 1960s and early 70s, of generating an architectural buzz that went far beyond its earlier tone of propriety, and it should be remembered for that. This sense of the magazine is not reflected in this entry, but there seems to be no way to re-write the introductory paragraph, above. Perhaps the editors of Wikipedia could address this.'

This would be fine if it was explained who Steven Games is. Moved by ProfDEH (talk) 08:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Actually he turns out to be a reasonably well known writer, published a book on Pevsner etc. ProfDEH (talk) 13:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Added a little extra info from the 1950s and 60s... more could be added with decent refs, but at least it makes a little more sense now. Warren (talk) 15:01, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
