Inform, a bimonthly design magazine published by the Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects, made its debut last month with a former senior editor of Progressive Architecture as its editor.
Vernon Mays, a native of Virginia who has returned to head the magazine, said he wants to create a forum for Virginians in the design field and give readers a look at new ideas.
Inform is the result of a long-range plan by the architects' group that wanted to see the society plan a role in architecture and design education. The Virginia society was co-publisher of Virginia Record until 1987 when it withdrew from that project and began plans for the new publication.
Initial circulation for Inform is 12,000. Subscriptions are $16 a year for six issues or $4 an issue and can be ordered by phoning 804-644-4031.
