Building Design, or BD, is a British weekly architectural magazine, based in London.[2]
BD was launched in 1969 by publisher Morgan Grampian[3] as a closed circulation weekly at a time when high-tech architecture was just starting to take off. It ceased its print edition in March 2014, becoming a digital-only publication.[4]
Unlike most other architectural publications, BD's editors and staff are mainly journalists rather than architects. The magazine is free to subscribers and offers limited free access to non-subscribers. It is funded by revenue from advertising.
