Cuadernos de Arquitectura was published by the Architects’ Association of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands between 1944 and 1970 and offered quality information on Catalan and international architecture as well as the theoretical movements and cultural debates of that time and the social and technological situation of the country.

From 1971 to 1980 it was published under the title Cuadernos de Arquitectura y Urbanismo and featured articles on Catalan and international architecture as well as the theoretical and cultural movements of those years.

From 1981 and through to the present day it has been published under the title Quaderns d'arquitectura i urbanisme and offers a critical viewpoint of Catalan and international architecture, reflecting on the contributions that architects make to the cultural and social realities of their milieu.

From the first issue (in 1944) through to issue number 143 (1980), it was published in Spanish. From issue 144 (in 1981) through to number 163 (in 1984), it was only published in Catalan. English was included in issue 164 (in 1985) and two different editions were published: Catalan-English and Spanish-English.

From issue 212 (in 1996), French was added with two editions: Catalan-French and Spanish-English. From issue 241 (2004), it was decided to swap the languages around in the following two editions: Catalan-English and Spanish-French.

And finally, from issue 249 (in 2006) through to the present day, just one edition is published in Catalan, Spanish and English.
