Abitare

Abitare magazine is an essential for those who want to keep up with the world of architecture and design, especially if they live in a locale where it may be hard to do so. Buying individual copies may be impossible in many places, so the subscription, while not inexpensive is one means among several to help you stay current. It is well produced and has a wide scope. It does not as get as bogged down in the theoretical or outright pretentious as other European design magazines do. It is helpful to open you up to new areas in architecture and design what you may not be familiar with. It's the one magzine in the field that is really an essential, in my opinion.
