Yes, as a matter of fact they do. I love watching architectural magazines. My imagination just wanders off to lala land once I stare at those beautiful houses. I love to watch both the exterior and interior. I do this every now and then to get rid of my stress... For online resources, I like looking at architect online and architecture week.
I'll get back to you what magazines I have at home and the cost...

Yeah, I see some travel shows on t.v. (the nights that I'm not working on photos or trying to do something in 3DS) and I like to see how the style of the house/vacation home/bungalow blends in with the native environment. Around here (Australia), Fiji is a popular spot, as is Bali. And I know quite a few folks that holiday regularly to the Philippines!
There's a version of Architectural Digest for Italy, and it's interesting to see how the styles differ from Here to There.

I am addicted to architectural books and mags. Very helpful for rendering reference.

I find myself going into a couple of the bigger book shops in town every fortnight and checking out the Big Books on sale. I got some good commercial arch books a few months ago - $20 each! I went back last week and they regained their senses and they were back up to $69 and $99.

I always read 3D World, but I also have access to The Architects Journal and Building Design. BD is great, as it always showcases new designs and developments - so you get to see the 3D work from all the big practices.

I subscribe to 3DWorld magazine (well, I get my local newsagent to get it for me). $20 a month isn't bad - heck the Kitchen and Bathroom mags are $13-$15. Being a photographer, I tend to look to actual photos for inspiration, especially since my personal goal is to turn out as-near-as-I-can photorealistic renders.
Great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to share your stuff.
