One good, print, architecture journal or magazine.

What is your favorite print architecture magazine or journal? One that is more intellectual/in-depth and wordy, instead of a being full of glossy images or ads.
I'm looking to subscribe to one good, meaty, architectural journal or magazine. I would love to hear recommendations about ones that you have read and enjoyed yourself. It would be a plus if it also included things that are more abstractly architectural, or interdisciplinary. I am an architecture student, with corresponding budget and curiosity.

Response by poster: ob1quixote, most of the things I hear about Architectural Record are negative. Was there anything you liked about it in particular?
The other ones seem really interesting - I'll have to check them out! Thanks.
Addendum to question: I would also love to hear what you like about them.

Does your school have a library? I would use that if at all possible. The really good ones are fantastically expensive. It's been a while since I had that kind of access to the good ones, but remember El Croquis being excellent. I did cave in after many years and bought a subscription to Detail at one point, and hope to do so again. It's been a while and my memory is fuzzy, but you might like Metropolis.

wym: “ob1quixote, most of the things I hear about Architectural Record are negative.

Then again, when I was last a subscriber was 25 years ago. Not to mention I never did pursue architecture school or a career in architecture, so…

I really like A+U, Pamphlet Architecture, and Clog (full disclosure, I know a couple folks on the Clog team). Croquis and Detail are also excellent as sepviva mentions.
