Membership of Type is open to all and is available to both individuals and organisations.

As a not-for-profit, your membership fee goes towards the financing of new projects and publications, helping Type to develop and disseminate work within the fields of architecture, landscape, urban design, and planning. This support allows our online library to continue to grow and to reach an increasingly wide audience.

Member benefits

Publications on architecture, landscape, urban design, and planning are rarely available online or in a single, accessible place in a digital format.


Type seeks to respond to these limitations by providing its members with access to an in-depth and growing digital repository of research and knowledge on the design of the built environment.

By joining Type, you’ll not only be able to freely browse and download our selection of journals and books, but you’ll also be able to access all future publications added to the library during your membership.

What’s more, Type provides all its available publications in a common file format, allowing all members to read, search, and reference individual works on any device without the need to download proprietary software.
