We are delighted to announce that Design& Build Review has re-launched on new fully responsive platform, meaning for the first time the magazine is available to read on any device of any size.
Whether you are on an iPad, desktop, smartphone or other device, you can  for free online.
To celebrate our stunning new design and platform, we’ve made this the biggest issue of the magazine yet, crammed with ideas, insight and expert opinion across the full spectrum of architecture.
We turn our attention to the role architects have to play in 2018, asking if the industry has seen a decline in perception and if technology is impacting on its transformation, and get the predictions of a host of industry experts for the year ahead.
It’s clear architecture is currently undergoing a transition, so we also ask if we are witnessing the decline of the starchitect and if new narratives are replacing the celebrity trend in the field.
