History

The first of American Institute of Architects's periodicals was the Quarterly Bulletin. This was followed, beginning in 1913, by:{{cite web

|title=Archive listings for Journal of the American Institute of Architects}}

  • Journal of the American Institute of Architects (through 1928)
  • Octagon (1929-1994), at which point the above title was resumed, through 1957
  • The American Institute of Architects Journal (AIA Journal)
  • Architecture

As of when the last of these ceased publication (2006), the title was Architecture: The AIA Journal. The successor is not owned by but is affiliated with AIA, and uses their name on their masthead.{{cite web
