The Architectural Review was founded as a monthly magazine, the Architectural Review for the Artist and Craftsman, in 1896 by Percy Hastings, owner of the Architectural Press.[2][3] In 1927 his third son, Hubert de Cronin Hastings, became joint editor (with Christian Berman) of both the Architectural Review and the Architects' Journal, a weekly.[3] Together they made substantial changes to the aims and style of the review, which became a general arts magazine with an architectural emphasis.
