The Architect's Newspaper is an architectural publication that covers the United States in monthly printed issues and online. The paper was founded in 2003 by William Menking, editor-in-chief, and Diana Darling, publisher, to bring architects and designers news relevant to architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, lighting designers, interior designers, academics, developers, contractors, and other parties interested in the built urban environment.
Content both in print and online ranges from a mix of topical essays, opinionated columns, project analyses, firm profiles, interviews, new products, reviews of exhibitions and books, a gossip column, plus an updated calendar of important events and competitions. Today, the paper is often referred to as ‘AN’ –the letters of which are depicted in its logotype. It has been praised for "balanced and accessible" coverage, although its target audience is architects and design professionals.[1]

Transcription
This is the architects neighborhood volume 1. How to write like an architect. Im doug patt. The basic drafting tool for an architect when working by hand is a parallel rule. You can also use a t-square. Ill be using an ames lettering guide to create the lines for the lettering. First were going to create our horizontal lines using the ames lettering guide. The guide has a variety of spacing options to create just about any combination your looking for. I will also be using a small triangle. Ive added tape to this one for ink lettering – to avoid smearing. Ill also be using a .5mm pentel drafting pencil and a flair pen for the letters. Ive created a small grid here to give me some guidance when I lay out the letters. Id say the most important thing to remember about hand lettering is that your letters need to seem animated while still appearing orderly and neat. I think this is achieved by using a few conventions. For example, youll notice the letters have some amount of incompleteness. The second diagonal on the A does not follow all the way to the guide line, the bottom of the B or D isnt complete, The bottom line on the E starts in front of the vertical. The second thing is that all the horizontals in the letters are drawn by hand, not using the parallel rule. They all sit at a slight angle making them dynamic and yet uniform. Youll also notice that I use the ruler for all vertical lines. Lastly, when making your Os, Qs, Cs, Gs, even 8s and 9s, the letters and numbers are simply combinations of semi circles. Even the letter S is made the same way. These are two images from my portfolio. They are good examples of how your strings of words will come together to form orderly yet animated paragraphs. Ive included a pdf with this short video that you can use to practice if you so desire. Remember, hand lettering takes years of practice to get good so If thats your goal find a forum to practice your lettering and keep it up. And thanks for checking out how to letter like an architect
History
When first launched in 2003, The Architect’s Newspaper featured news only relating to the architecture scene on the East Coast and in particular, New York, which was where the company was (and still is) based. From 2003 to 2016, The Architect's Newspaper ran three regional print editions covering the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast–each on a monthly basis. A South West edition was also printed, though not at regular intervals. In 2016, the paper opted to print only national editions which are now published every month. In 2015, The Architect’s Newspaper launched AN Interior to run alongside the paper's print format. As denoted in its name the publication focused particularly on interior design. Editions are published four times a year and take on a more magazine-type style in comparison to the paper.
