Perspecta and Constructs

Pespecta is the peer-reviewed academic journal published since 1952 by the Yale School of Architecture, the oldest architectural journal of its kind in the United States.  Started in 1952, it is largely driven by students.  An article by Robert Venturi published in 1965 is considered to have changed the face of twentieth-century architecture. Louis Kahn contributed essays.  Other contributors have included James Stirling, Vincent Scully, and Jeanne Gang.

Retrospecta is the annual journal of student work — part historical record, part monograph, documenting one academic year with exemplary work from the design studios and support courses, plus lectures, symposia, exhibitions and studio reviews captured in candid photographs and quotations.

Constructs is the newsletter, started in 1999 and ending in 2023.  The editor for 24 years was Nina Rappaport. A twice-yearly news magazine covering activities and events at the school: interviews with visiting faculty, articles on what's being discussed in the studios, and previews and reviews of exhibitions and lectures. It also covers important non-Yale events, exhibitions and publications. Newsprint tabloid format, dated by season rather than numbered.
