Architectural Theory Review
Instructions for Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
The Architectural Theory Review is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information on the theory of architecture. It also invites for publication articles which relate architectural theory to main currents in contemporary thinking in disciplines outside architecture, such as recent philosophical thinking, sociology, ethnology, anthropology, gender studies, political theory, historiography, literary theory, ecology, computer theory, education, and so on. The journal is intended to provide a forum where such interdisciplinary studies can be related to and inform such areas of architectural interest as studies of space and place, architectural history, the social context of architecture, sustainability, architecture and women, professional practice and ethics, design teaching, and the impact of globalisation, science and technology on the built environment.
