Architecture Boston was created by the Boston Society of Architects (BSA), a chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The publication was created to explore the ways that architecture influences and is influenced by our environment and our society. It began publication in June 1998 (quarterly). In 2002, the journal began being produced bimonthly. The Boston Architectural College Library has the print run of the journal from 1998 – 2018.
