Today, it continues to be revered by architects and designers around the world for its fresh and unconventional approach. It was established by Peter Murray and Deyan Sudjic with the financial backing of leading architects and designers including Richard Rogers, Terence Conran and Rodney Fitch. Launched in 1983, Blueprint was the first magazine to cross the boundaries between design and architecture. At Blueprint we cast a critical eye over the whole story'. As editor Johnny Tucker says: 'Architecture, design and art is not created and does not exist in a vacuum, but is the sum of many factors from individual and group creativity to socio-economic influences. The magazine takes a strongly contextual approach to architecture, design and art. But its long-standing appeal is also due to the strong opinions and critical thinking, news and feature writing on design and architecture, directed at professionals and non-professionals, alike. Blueprint Magazine has now been bringing its readers an essential mix of critical, incisive, and entertaining architecture, design and art coverage for 30 years.īlueprint is a premium bi-monthly, 260-page magazine, 80% of which is pure editorial lovingly produced in large format on the best quality paper, with photography and illustration of the highest standard.
