Furthering your own Architectural education - magazines

When you go to the shops, drop in at your local newsagent and look at the following magazines (and others):

Abitare
Architecture Australia
Architecture Review
Australian Architecture Review
Belle
Case da Abitare
Dwell
Domus, this italian magazine is not as good as it used to be (they change editors relatively often). I think Mendini is taking over again shortly and this is a good thing. Domus is dumped here and costs about the same here as in Milan (about AUS$22), i've seen it for sale at 4 times the price in Amsterdam and Malmö.
Frame
Habitus
Houses
Icon
Indesign
Mark
Monument
Vogue Living
Wallpaper*
World of Interiors, not as bad as it sounds from the title. They often visit older buildings that no-one else publishes (Gio Ponti hotels and Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera's Studio/Houses are examples from recent years)

Not all of the above are the same quality and some are very expensive. Many of them will not be available at many newsagents, but almost all are available at the big newsagent at Taylor Square. It's open almost all the time. Whenever you go past, drop in for a look.

If you like what you see and have some spare cash, buy one!
