Journal a+a

Oloid

«Art + Architecture in Switzerland» (a+a) is the most widely read specialist journal on Swiss cultural heritage. This full-colour magazine brings Switzerland’s architectural heritage to life, offering fascinating insights into the work and core expertise of the Society for Swiss Art History (SSAH) through in-depth background reports, engaging interviews and essays.

Whether the subject is art history, architectural history, or the conservation of cultural heritage, a+a addresses current debates and devotes each issue to a carefully curated special feature. Thanks to the depth of its content, the magazine has been valued as a collector’s item by readers since 1950.

What you can expect:

  • A diverse and elegant selection of aesthetically designed books, richly illustrated and featuring first-class photography.
  • Versatile and accessible for anyone with a passion for architecture, art and culture.
  • Trilingual: articles in German, French or Italian, each with summaries in the other languages.
  • Four issues a year – published quarterly with a print run of around 5,000 copies, included in the annual SSAH membership fee.

Cultural heritage inspires, and so does our magazine.
