Scholarship of Design | Submission Guidelines

Articles published under the rubric of Scholarship of Design cover a wide in range of topics. JAE seeks work that inquires into the myriad aspects of our discipline -- history, theory, criticism, representation, the techniques of construction, digital modeling, professional practice, etc. Studies that question the implications of new digital or analog techniques (representational or construction) along with pedagogical or gender-based research are as welcome as is research on the cultural conditions from which new projects, buildings, or urban designs emerge. The key schema that binds these varied studies, and the metric by which manuscripts in this category are judged, ultimately returns to the question of how a particular investigation adds to the knowledge base of architectural production. How does a particular piece of scholarship, design or text-based, help explicate the productive task of the architect? How does the author’s work illuminate the questions students of architecture, inside academe and without, have been asking since architecture and the building arts conjoined into a single enterprise?
