1940s

The Archi expanded in 1941 with more extensive articles and features on architectural education and professional practice. The profession's response to the Second World War figured prominently. By the end of the 1941-1942 academic year, wartime concerns and contraction in schools of architecture would cause the magazine to suspend publication until 1945. In 1948, The Archi resumed regular publication in a newsletter format.
