by Ann Withanee — January 14, 2011—The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Hanley Wood, LLC, have released the first issue of the recently revamped Architect magazine. Now the new official publication of the AIA, Architect will be the largest of the four titles published as part of the partnership.
The other magazines are Residential Architect, EcoHome and Eco-Structure.
“The AIA-Hanley Wood partnership represents a rare collaboration between a multinational industry association and a publishing house that will produce and deliver content to the design and construction industries across multiple distribution channels, including print and online, and via major events,” said AIA President Clark Manus, FAIA.
In addition, Hanley Wood will also run the AIA’s annual national convention, attended by tens of thousands of architects, builders and design professionals. This year, the convention will be held in New Orleans from May 12-14.
A main component of the AIA-Hanley Wood media partnership is a dedicated section in each of the four publications that will focus exclusively on AIA-produced content. Called AIArchitect, it will be a sister publication to the online-only, bi-weekly newsletter that currently serves as the AIA’s primary in-house publication.
The first AIA issue of Architect was recently mailed to the nearly 80,000 subscribers from the AIA membership and Hanley Wood’s subscriber list. It can be accessed online.
