Touchstone is the official journal of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales. Styled as the journal for architecture in Wales and edited by Patrick Hannay, it was launched in 1996 and is published twice yearly, in May and November.

Regular features include
  • School Matters - innovations from the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University
  • Little Gems - highlighting small-scale projects or details 
  • Touchstone's updates on projects, news, views, events
