AR November 2026: 130 years of The Architectural Review

In November 1896, the first films were being screened, wireless telegraphy had just been patented, and the first issue of The Architectural Review was published in London and released into the world.  The magazine has since survived world wars, political earthquakes and technological revolutions – perhaps none as seismic as the current deluge of so-called artificial intelligence. As generative AI is blurring the lines of reality and human interactions, this anniversary highlights the increasing importance and urgency for human thinking, writing and making.
