About this journal

Aims and scope

Architectural Theory Review provides a forum for the exchange of ideas on architecture in its broadest definition, including studies of environments, architectural history and historiography, architecture’s social contexts, questions of gender, sexuality, race and identity, ethics, pedagogy, design and visual culture, and the impact of globalisation, science and technology on the built environment. The journal welcomes submissions that relate architectural theory to contemporary thought in disciplines outside of architecture, including modern philosophical thought, sociology, ethnology, anthropology, gender studies, political theory, historiography, literary and cultural theory, ecology, computer theory, and education. ATR is indexed and abstracted in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
