Building Design (London, UK)

Biography

Building Design, or BD, is a leading online platform for architectural news, analysis, and commentary, based in London.

BD was launched in 1969 by publisher Morgan Grampian as a closed circulation weekly at a time when high-tech architecture was just starting to take off. It ceased its print edition in March 2014, becoming a digital-only publication.

Unlike some other architectural publications, BD's editors and staff are mainly journalists rather than architects. The magazine is free to subscribers and offers limited free access to non-subscribers. It is funded by revenue from advertising.
