About the Journal

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Materia Arquitectura is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes original research, which can be exploratory and speculative. It is also open to visual and imaginative proposals.

Its aim is to contribute to the development and questioning of the discipline and architectural practice through new problems and ideas in relation to the cultural, social, economic and political contexts in which it operates. The topics covered by the journal include culture and the arts, architectural history and theory, landscape and urban planning, urban heritage, architectural technologies, urban design and architectural pedagogical practices.

Materia Arquitectura aims to review what architecture is, its disciplinary tradition and new visions of what it could be. To this end, each thematic issue, proposed by guest editors, is based on concrete objects that open up conceptual debates and promote dialogue between architecture and related disciplines.  Architects, artists, urban planners, filmmakers, animators and poets, historians of culture and architecture, geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, thinkers and writers of all kinds are invited to participate in this publication and enrich the visions of architecture.
