Beschreibung

»Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on, and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the creation, constitution, and transmission of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, procedures, and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attention to the architectural design and epistemologies of aesthetic practice and research.

Issue 09/2025 discusses how multidimensional and diverse forms of thinking, designing, and building disrupt and challenge existing paradigms in the field of architecture in times of multiple struggles - characterised by inequality, conflicts and exploitation of space. How do these changes impact architecture as a profession, practice, and discipline? How do spatial practitioners contribute to a more just spatial production including various voices and encouraging resource-saving urban practices? Referring to Audre Lorde we ask: »Are we doing the work?« This issue features contributions reflecting on collaborative practices, research and diverse forms of architectural knowledge in activism, the building of networks and alliances.
