Journal overview

The Journal of Architecture is published by Routledge, an imprint of Taylor & Francis, for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

Since its launch in 1996, The Journal of Architecture  has become widely recognised as one of the foremost peer-reviewed architecture journals internationally.

It is published eight times a year, comprising both guest-edited special issues, as well as open issues.

Original submissions are welcome from all areas of architectural research, including the humanities, social sciences and engineering. The journal seeks work that advances empirical knowledge and theoretical understanding of architecture and architectural design in view of global challenges and their local manifestations – whether it is the reality of the climate emergency, economic scarcity, new technologies or societal upheavals and shifts. It is committed to progressing knowledge of relevance to contemporary and situated architectural practice.

In addition to standard peer-reviewed articles, The Journal of Architecture  publishes book reviews, critical commentaries and building reviews. It is open to receiving proposals for guest-edited special issues.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
