Call for Papers: EAHN2020 – European Architectural History Network Conference 2020

EAHN is a European organisation, but its intellectual scope is global, and the meeting welcomes proposals on any architectural historical topic. As well as topics on any aspect of the built environment, proposals on landscape and urban history are also very welcome, along with proposals dealing with the theories, methodologies and historiographies of architectural history.

In accordance with EAHN´s mission, the European Architectural History Network Conference 2020 aims to increase the visibility of the discipline of architectural history, to foster transnational, interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches to the study of the built environment, and to facilitate the exchange of research in the field. 

The European Architectural History Network 2020 Conference (EAHN2020) will take place in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. The city has a well-preserved Medieval Old Town, a New Town built in the early 19th century and some of the UK’s best examples of postwar modernism. Edinburgh is a city in which questions of architectural history are unusually live: what to build, what not to build, and what to preserve are questions at the centre of both local, and national political debate.

The conference will take place in June 2020 and will be accompanied by an exhibition at the Talbot Rice Gallery, with four specially commissioned works of art on an architectural theme. Its programme counts also with architectural tours, of the city and the region. 

EAHN2020 will be based in the central George Square campus.
