A journal on Islamic architecture published by Intellect twice a year since 2012. It publishes peer-reviewed articles on the architecture, urban design, planning and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world and of Islam's more recent geographies around the world, and it welcomes articles that connect academic research and professional practice. It publishes in English and is indexed in Scopus and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index.
The International Journal of Islamic Architecture ( IJIA ) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. […]
