ABSTRACT
Established in 2013, Architecture and Culture accommodates conventional and unconventional submissions to expand our understanding of what merits interdisciplinary and architectural publication. The journal is directed at multidisciplinary practitioners and audiences of researchers and scholars including, but not limited to, architects, artists and urban designers, filmmakers, animators and poets, historians, geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists. In an effort to recover architectural publishing as a more liberal, designerly, yet rigorous, space of production and imagination and to present critical socio-political positions, this issue reveals nuances in publishing and associated academic practices that might exceed or distil conventional and accepted disciplinary limitations. In order to create tolerant space in architectural publication, Justine Clark and Paul Walker consider “processes of ‘interpretation,’ rather than ‘judgement’” and suggest that critics and reviewers engage in “a more complex understanding of the role of ‘intention of the work.’”.
