The AIT architecture | Interior design | Technical expansion (AIT) is a trade journal for architects and interior designers . It is the official organ of the Association of German Interior Architects (bdia).
history
The publisher Alexander Koch (1860–1939), who was committed to architecture and handicrafts , founded the paper in 1890 in Darmstadt under the name Illustrierte Kunstgewerbliche Zeitschrift für Interior Decoration , in the same year the title was shortened to Interior Decoration . The following additional titles or subtitles can be proven: My home, my pride , The entire art of living in pictures and words as well as the magazine for art of living and the entire interior design .
The magazine provided references to architectural competitions and contained special supplements and reviews. Koch himself worked as an editor . At the turn of the century, Art Nouveau architects such as Henry van de Velde , Joseph Maria Olbrich and August Endell were presented for the first time .
In 1901 the magazine advertised a competition for the "House of an Art Friend". The Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh was given for his competition entry, although no price, but generated a lot of attention, and his House for an Art Lover was from 1989 to 1996 - in - decades after his death Bellahouston Park of Glasgow carried out.
In 1944 the magazine was discontinued due to the war. From 1948 it appeared again, now under the title Architecture and Housing . Today the title is AIT - Architecture, Interior Design, Technical Expansion .
content
In addition to the design, especially of commercial, industrial and public buildings, the AIT expressly addresses their technical expansion in a special section. The focus is on the interior design and interior fittings. It appears in themed editions. Three of these special issues appear as ABIT on the subject of B üro- and administrative buildings, banks, insurance companies and government agencies with an expanded editorial section on workplace design and furnishings. The ABIT enables an interesting target group addition.
