The Architectural Magazine, and Journal of Improvement in
Architecture, Building, and Furnishing, and in the Various Arts and
Trades Connected Therewith was first published by John Claudius Loudon
in March 1834. As its frontispiece tells us, Loudon was also the author
of the Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm, and Villa Architecture and
Furniture as well as several other educational tomes on gardening,
agriculture and design. The Architectural Magazine itself came out
monthly until January 1839 in issues offering c. 40-50 pages each. They
are now available as five bound volumes the last of which contains an
index to all volumes, indicating that they were meant to be preserved as
a whole contained unit.
Loudon
assembled an impressive range of writers around himself, including the
architects I.J. Fowler and E.B. Lamb as well as John Ruskin himself, who
wrote, under the pen name Kata Phusin, on The Poetry of
Architecture.
Loudon's purpose with putting together this
magazine, one of the first of its kind , was, to intellectualise
architectural discourse. Sections such as - The Philosophy of
Architecture popularised, Ruskins The Poetry of Architecture as well
as Practical Architecture and Building, which included articles on
ventilation, heating, furniture or engineering, were all intended to
enable readers to partake in an informed debate about architectural
questions of all sorts. This was clearly aimed at the professional
architect, but also at the client as well as the general public.
The Architectural Magazine became
literally a storehouse (magazine) for ideas and opinions but also a
logbook (journal) for what was being said about architecture anywhere
else in the press. Readers found frequent extracts from daily newspapers
such as the Morning Chronicle, but different from these news
broadsheets, such extracts were usually commented upon and put in
perspective. Thus arises, in The Architectural Magazine, a public debate
in printed form, illustrated in places to enhance the words written by
Loudon and others, and importantly always attempting to give a somewhat
balanced view within the stylists preferences which no architect or
architectural writer could have avoided at this time.
