Architectural Histories publishes historically grounded research into all aspects of architecture and the built environment and is open to investigations of any region or chronological period. We publish original research of the highest quality from scholars and critics in all stages of their careers and from any geographic or disciplinary background. Architectural Histories champions reflection and dialogue about the place of history and historical research within the broader architectural culture as well as the varied and multifaceted ways architecture and the built environment are studied and debated today, across disciplines, cultures, and regions. The journal welcomes a broad range of methodologies and approaches, and it strives to publish scholarship that is not written according to a single formula. In this, the plural in its title is the key both in terms of a diversity of inquiries as well as an approach to history as something to be deciphered through imaginative writing and carefully composed images. Architectural Histories is a leading journal about the study of the past and its repercussions for contemporary architectural culture.
