Contact Customer SupportWho writes and reviews the articles published in the journal?
Our texts are written by practicing architects, industrial designers, and material conservators based across Ireland and Europe. Every essay undergoes a two-stage peer review to verify historical context and technical terminology before publication.
How are printed volumes protected during domestic postal transit?
Each journal is wrapped in acid-free tissue and encased within a heavy, twin-wall corrugated mailer that prevents edge scuffs and corner impact. Deliveries are processed on business days, with orders placed before 13:00 being readied for dispatch on that day.
What is the return policy for printed editions?
We accept returns of printed journals within 30 days of delivery. The publication must remain completely unread, pristine, and within its original protective card wrapper to be eligible for a refund.
How does the publication sustain its operations without brand sponsors?
Architrave Journal operates solely through direct sales of print issues and library subscriptions. We accept neither affiliate commissions nor paid product placements, preserving absolute editorial autonomy across all published critiques.
