Conclusion

Rassegna, an Italian Journal seems to have ceased publishing. The theme of the volume that I was looking at (vol. 87) was on underground architecture; how it may affect us psychologically, and what architecture can do to create an attractive and pleasant 'environment' in the underground spaces.

The quarterly journal ARQ is published by 'la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad Católica de Chile' (the Catholic University School of Architecture of Chile). Like Rassegna, there is a theme to every 'number' published. This volume (vol. 73) is about the city Valparaíso in Chile; considering their quality of everyday architecture.

The third journal, Housing Works, is a journal of the AHI (Australian Housing Institute), which is targeted to people working in and with social housing. The aims are to:
-promote ideas and discussion about issues, policies and development in social housing in Australia and New Zealand
-highlight practice and professional development issues in social housing and promote understanding and discussion of these issues
-assist readers to improve their knowledge of key issues in social housing research, policy and practice
-promote an informed view of the social housing profession and the services provided
-contribute to a wider knowledge of policy and practice developments in social housing across Australia and New Zealand
