The school supports two student-edited publications. Perspecta: The Yale Architectural Journal, the oldest student-edited architectural journal in the United States, is internationally respected for its contributions to contemporary discourse with original presentations of new projects as well as historical and theoretical essays. The editors of Perspecta solicit contributions from distinguished scholars and practitioners from around the world, and then, working with graphic design students from the School of Art, produce the journal. Retrospecta, an annual journal that includes samples of student work and activities at the school during each academic year, is edited by students and published by the school.

The school also publishes Constructs, a twice-yearly news magazine that highlights activities and events at the school, including interviews with visiting faculty members, articles on issues relevant to what is being analyzed and discussed in the design studios, and previews and reviews of the school’s exhibitions and lectures. Constructs also covers important non-Yale events, exhibitions, and publications. Back issues may be searched online at www.architecture.yale.edu/publications/constructs.

The school maintains an active publications program (www.architecture.yale.edu/publications).
