Volume 5 Issue 1 - Architecture as a Communicative Medium The Spring 2008 issue of ARCC Journal invited papers that explore communication in its various forms in the design and/or critique of architecture. Discussion may include (but not limit to) study of historic precedents and theoretical constructs in the relationship of language and architecture; the use of semantic expression in the teaching of architecture; new semantic appropriations of architecture as enabled by new technologies; sustainability as a form of expression in architecture/design; as well as the evolution and extinction of architectural entities and philosophies in evolving socio-cultural contexts. Papers may present empirical research that deal with the design of architecture (and/or its elements) or speculative research that looks at theoretical frameworks for empirical work leading to the design of architecture (and/or its elements). We encourage participation from disciplines outside architecture (art, landscape, computation, planning) to frame design and the built environment within the context of semantics and linguistic expression. |
