Bedford Press was initiated by the Architectural Association in 2008 as a publishing imprint that seeks to develop contemporary models of publication practice, building upon the AA’s renowned legacy of independent publishing. As an imprint of AA Publications, Bedford Press publishes books and ebooks at the intersection of architecture, visual art, graphic design and theory. Bedford Press draws on the cultural activity of the AA but also seeks to broaden this discourse through collaborations and partnerships with institutions, arts organisations and individuals.
