History

The Architectural Review was founded as a monthly magazine, the Architectural Review for the Artist and Craftsman, in 1896 by Percy Hastings, owner of the Architectural Press,

In January 2017, title owner Ascential announced its intention to sell 13 titles including The Architectural Review;^[5] the 13 "heritage titles" were to be "hived off into a separate business while buyers are sought."^[6] It was one of 13 titles acquired from Ascential by Metropolis International in a £23.5m cash deal, announced on 1 June 2017.^[7]

The Architectural Review remains in print, published ten times per year, while its online version is updated daily.
