ARQUITECTONICS , MIND , AND SOCIETY
General Call for Papers
We live in a world where architecture and planning are one of the most vigorous human activities. Thousands and thousands of square miles of territory are designed and built each day, thanks to the powerful technology applied to the three classical pillars of architecture: design, construction and dwelling.
However, research on architecture is still poorly developed and the systematization of knowledge related to architectural design activities is weak or inexistent.
ARQUITECTONICS , MIND , AND SOCIETY, will aim to fill this gap, and to stimulate experts and doctorate students working in the field. Epistemological relationships between design, building and dwelling should be analyzed by ARQUITECTONICS, and the link between social sciences, natural sciences and exact sciences analyzed by architectural knowledge, should be uncovered too.
Both aesthetic and ethic, as well as scientific aspects of that knowledge are welcomed, and the Review will encourage interdisciplinary and tran sdisciplinary perspectives that prove to be architecturally pertinent.
The aim of this Review is ambitious, but the opportunity for increasing research on architecture is today real, since a worldwide audience is waiting, and we should not deceive it.
Papers and contributions can consider the following questions:
Which is the environmental impact, social, physical and mental, of new built environments?
Which are the best ways for the analysis and understanding of the relations between mental development, social life and architecture?
How can our design forecast good practices and predict comfort and non-aggressive and non-oppressive social interactions?
Which are the research strategies, paradigms, methods and theories today that are better acquitted and are more promising in the field of the architectural activities in design, building and dwelling?
Which are the best examples of architectural design that grant to invest a research effort that is a fully and intense exercise of reflection?
Which are the best scientific ways for the understanding of the relationships between objects and subjects, past and future dimensions of culture, from an architectural viewpoint?
How and when do our educational institutions educate our children in order to know, to participate and to design better environments?
The answers to these questions can come from diverse disciplines in the field of built environment.
