Arquitectura: Revista mensal was founded in Lisbon in 1927, with Francisco Costa as director and editor. In its first series it published Portuguese houses, public buildings, exhibitions and competitions, later under the subtitle Construção, Decoração, Belas-Artes, Arqueologia.
In 1948 the magazine was relaunched as Arquitectura: Revista de arte e construção by the ICAT group (Iniciativas Culturais Arte e Técnica), young architects guided by Francisco Keil do Amaral. Until 1957 it became the main platform for modern architecture and international debate in Portugal during the dictatorship, and it continued to appear into the 1960s.
The dates of the first series are given differently by different sources (1927–1935, 1939 or 1946). This database holds issues from 1927 to 1931 and the second series from no. 19 (1948) to no. 83 (1964). It should not be confused with the older, separate magazine A Arquitectura Portuguesa (from 1908).

Selected scholarship on the journal, and the institutional sources from which the database draws its scans and transcripts.
The reproductions are sourced from the Faculdade de Arquitetura, Universidade de Lisboa (FA-ULisboa) library digital collection. The scans were edited into PDF booklets (cropping, rotation and page corrections) by Ines Rulence, and published as flipbooks.
Issues of Arquitectura published before 1956 (1927 to 1931 and 1948 to 1955) are considered to be in the public domain: under EU law (Directive 2006/116/EC) the journal as a collective work is in the public domain, as more than 70 years have elapsed since their publication. However, individually authored contributions may carry separate protection: texts, drawings and photographs by authors who died after 1955 may remain under copyright in the EU. The issues from 1956 onwards remain protected: permission to republish these scans has been requested from the FA-ULisboa library, and until it is granted those issues are password protected.
