An international scientific journal of architectural, urban and landscape research, published online three times a year since 2018 by the Bureau de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère of France's Ministère de la Culture. It publishes articles and reviews for researchers working on intentional changes to space at any scale. It is free to read, charges no fees, uses double-blind peer review and accepts articles in French and English.
Situated within the fields of architectural, urban and landscape research, the Cahiers originally developed in the laboratories of schools of architecture from the 1970s onwards. An international scientific journal, it addresses the research communities concerned with intentional spatial transformations, at whatever scale. Les Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère aim to respond to current interests and questions, but also to renew them, and so open up new avenues of research.
