The journal's first editor was Bertel Jung, secretary of the Architects' Club (predecessor of the Finnish Association of Architects, SAFA).

The journal ceased publication during the Finnish Civil War (1918), but reappeared in both Swedish and Finnish versions in 1921, since when it has appeared regularly, initially 12 times a year and currently 6 times a year.

It is currently published as a bilingual journal, with texts in Finnish and English (it is the only bilingual Nordic architectural publication).

Architectural Competitions in Finland is published as a supplement to the journal.
