Blueprint is an architecture and design magazine that has been published in

the UK on a monthly basis since 1983.
It offers a mix of criticism, news and feature writing on design and architecture,
directed at professionals and non-professionals alike.
Blueprint takes architecture and design as its starting point and brings these
thing into sharp focus via context, comment and analysis. Architecture and
design do not exist in a vacuum. - Johnny Tucker, Blueprint Editor[1]
The magazine takes a parallel approach to the different design disciplines,
reflecting a belief that fashion, product, furniture and architectural design can
share ideas.

History[edit]
 Blueprint was first published in October 1983[2] by Peter Murray. It was launched
and funded by major UK design world figures including Terence
Conran, Marcello Minale, Brian Tattersfield, and Richard Rogers.[3]
In 1983, Murray noticed a hole in the market for an inspirational magazine that
presented lavish images and a critical analysis of the industry. He
enlisted Sunday Times architecture critic Deyan Sudjic as editor, who in turn
recruited a team of young, astute writers including Jonathan Glancey, James
Woudhuysen, Rowan Moore, Martin Pawley, and Rick Poynor. Sudjic continued
to edit Blueprint until 1994.
Blueprint's subsequent contributors have included philosopher Edward
Harcourt, novelist JG Ballard, cultural critic James Heartfield and art
critic Matthew Collings. It has been edited by Sudjic, (who, since 2006, has
been director of the London Design Museum), architect and critic Rowan
Moore. Vicky Richardson, who edited the magazine from 2004 until 2010 went
on to be Director of Architecture Design and Fashion at the British Council. The
current editor is Johnny Tucker.
