The Iowa Architect, a national award-winning magazine, is intended to educate its readers about the importance of architecture and related architectural issues. Through a review of newly constructed and historically significant projects, the magazine promotes the value of design excellence in all areas of the public and private environment. It is also a resource for noteworthy events and achievements in the arts, literature and product design.
The Iowa Architect is published four times a year and is supported by a combination of advertising revenue, subscription fees and AIA Iowa chapter contributions. One issue, this Directory, is produced during the second quarter of each year. The magazine's editorial policy, content, graphic design and production are directed by a volunteer editorial board comprised of statewide members of AIA Iowa.
The editorial staff determines projects and events to be covered, solicits contributions by freelance writers and assembles photographic and graphic support materials. Each issue is focused around a central idea or topic such as historic preservation, waterfront development, residential design, educational facilities, urban design, etc.
The magazine's current readership of 12,000 is concentrated in an eight-state area including Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. By subscription, the magazine is currently mailed to approximately 35 states.
In support of its educational goals, Iowa Architect is distributed free of charge to school and university libraries in the state of Iowa. The magazine also provides free subscriptions to private and public officials at the local and state levels who routinely make decisions regarding the built environment in Iowa.
While the main focus is on Iowa architecture and design issues important to Iowa, the magazine has consistently worked to broaden the scope of its interests and coverage. This has included the development of a yearly review of state and region design awards, and features that explore and review performances, art exhibitions, product design and interior and graphic design.
