Guest Editors: Eduard Cairol & Tomas Macsotay (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) Revista Espacio Tiempo y Forma. Serie VII, Historia del Arte (ETFVII) is pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the themed dossier for the upcoming issue (2021) is now open. “There is nothing particularly novel about the claim that contemporary art has been characterised, since the time of the avant-garde, by its tendency to go beyond the limits between artistic media, but that it has also —perhaps as an outcome of, among other factors, its experimental vocation— been led by desire to integrate, in a single and unique…

Joelho – Journal of Architectural Culture In the new time consciousness of modernity, Jürgen Habermas tells us, historical memory gives place to an ahistorical use of the past, which explains the abstract language of avant-garde aesthetics. Suffice to think of authors such as Picasso and Le Corbusier and in the relationships their work establishes with the past. In their collections particulières, memorabilia ranged from vernacular to primitive and classical artefacts, the operative value of which rested in their aesthetic qualities, independently of their place in the continuum of history. The past was a source of raw material, opening new conceptual…

EAHN is pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the thematic conference Architecture and Endurance (Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, 30th September – 2nd October 2021) is open. “Endurance is a state of surviving, remaining alive; the ability to continue a given task; the power of withstanding hardship. Its original meaning implies continued existence and ability to last. As such it has implications not only for how architecture is conceptualized but also for the ways within which architectural historiography is conceived. In recent years, there is a tendency in architectural historiography to go deep into the specific…

“The places we value most from our past are relevant to the greatest challenges facing our world today. At World Monuments Fund (WMF) we believe in making a difference. That’s why we need your help. We are now accepting nominations for the 2022 World Monuments Watch—WMF’s global program that seeks to discover, spotlight, and take action on behalf of heritage places facing challenges or presenting outstanding opportunities of direct relevance to our society.

Where uncertainty, division, separation, havoc, and disease befall communities worldwide, many of us have resorted to embracing ways to bring solace, gratification, indulgence, and joy into the spaces we inhabit. Rather than setting out to work on an issue that directly and explicitly discusses the problems of our times as the focus, our 14th issue sets out to critically examine the spaces, places, and routines that give us pleasure because of—and despite—the chaos. Reminded of Bernard Tschumi’s words in “The Pleasure of Architecture”, where he posits that “the ancient idea of pleasure still seems sacrilegious to contemporary architectural theory”, this…

Long before the appearance of COVID-19, the urban fabric of cities across the world had been shaped by prior epidemics. Indeed, the study of historic, global epidemics has illuminated the many ways in which urban life and architecture have changed during times of pestilence. With the outbreak of each epidemic has come new scientific understandings of disease, new modes of governing of social life and interaction, novel efforts to intervene in and prevent infection, the exacerbation of social inequities, and the creation of new occupational and social roles. Each of these outcomes has been enacted and emplaced in the built…
