IJAR July 2014 (Volume 8 – Issue 2) is now available. Entitled
‘COMPLEXITY, PATTERNS, AND BIOPHILIA’ this special issue is guest edited
by Professor Nikos A. Salingaros. It includes a collection that “… describes
Christopher Alexander’s work and related developments based on his
human, sensitive, and scientific approach to architecture. And yet, much
of it remains curiously outside the architectural and academic
mainstream.” Encompassing eight articles and essays, from
biologists, philosophers, historians, and urbanists, this edition of
IJAR presents samples of original thoughts, ideas, and theories that
contribute to the shaping of a healthy and responsive approach to the
future built environment. To navigate this edition visit this page http://www.archnet-ijar.net/index.php/IJAR/issue/view/28 To submit articles for future issues of IJAR visit the online submission page

Architecture-Urbanism is dedicated to a) those who are interested in creating livable and sustainable environments and buildings that meet socio-cultural and socio-behavioral needs of people, environments that are responsive to historical, traditional and physical constraints, b) to those who are interested in finding panacea for the ills of our globalized world, and c) to those who are interested in regaining what cultures and societies have lost by the acts of architects.
