About this journal

Aims and scope

Technology | Architecture + Design (TAD) is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the advancement of scholarship in the field of building technology, with a focus on the impact, translation and integration of technology in architecture and design. TAD solicits, captures, and shares new knowledge in how we think, make and use technology within the building arts. Published articles feature primary research in emerging materials, constructions techniques, design integration, structures, building systems, energy, environmental design, information technology, digital fabrication, sustainability and resiliency, project delivery, the history and theory of technology, and building technology education. Aimed at researchers, educators, and practitioners, the journal advances and transforms the current discourse on building based technologies with the goal of expanding, reimagining and challenging its role for architecture and design.

TAD is published by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). Faculty members at ACSA full-member programs, affiliate members, and supporting members, receive print copies of the journal as part of their membership.

The journal is supported by an international advisory board of leading academics and practitioners. TAD publishes two issues per year comprising peer reviewed and invited manuscripts in all areas of building, design, and technology including the following categories and related subfields:
