Astrágalo. Culture of Architecture and the City

About the Journal

Astrágalo. Culture of Architecture and the City is an international scholarly journal devoted to critical thinking on architecture and urban cultures. Founded in 1994, it is published by the University of Seville, which shares editorial responsibility with the Centre for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urbanism at the Universidad Abierta Interamericana in Buenos Aires. The journal examines the relationships between architecture, space and society through a transdisciplinary approach that brings together philosophy, history, the arts, geography and the social sciences. Its content explores architectural theory and criticism, forms of inhabitation, urban inequalities, gender and care, ecological transformations, design culture and the relationship between education and professional practice. Its mission is to generate and disseminate knowledge that helps interpret contemporary transformations in architecture and the city and explore alternatives to improve the social quality of urban life. It promotes intellectual experimentation, the reassessment of disciplinary conventions and analysis of the effects of market logics on the built environment, linking design rigour with cultural, social and environmental responsibility. Its editorial scope is international, with particular attention to exchange between the Americas and Europe. It welcomes contributions from researchers, educators and practitioners and publishes in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Its thematic issues bring together research articles, critical essays, visual articles and reviews, as specified in each call for papers. The journal is peer-reviewed and open access, with no charges to authors.
