AJ gets a face for the '90s; the Architects' Journal has a fresh new design next week
Article Abstract:
The Architect's Journal (AJ) has been redesigned by Mike Lackersteen. Lackersteen, a leading magazine designer, appreciated the good briefing he was given by the editor, Stephen Greenberg and approached the design with regard to the nature of the journal and its readers. The AJ invested in market research and the redesign has been accompanied by a change in editorial policy. The magazine will be more practical and the new layout with modern typefaces and strong visual impact will be easier to read.

Article Abstract:
Artist, John Cleal built his own art gallery following the designs of architect, Cedric Mitchell. The Workshop Wales gallery in Fishguard, Wales is a timber framed building constructed as a series of interlocking spaces. The walls and roof are 'stepped' to create spaces of varying height and area. Cleal and his son built the gallery with advice from a timber frame supply firm. The building took eight months and cost 75,000 pounds sterling.
