New openings in architectural knowledge | Deljana Iossifova & Doreen Bernath
We mark here a number of significant shifts in how The Journal of Architecture supports and curates architectural scholarship. Each represents, in its own way, a response to the evolving commitments, modes, and urgencies of our field — gestures that signal both continuity and change in the journal's orientation.
One such shift involves a change in the journal's editorial team. After years of generous service, Ross Adams will be stepping down from his editorial role. Ross has brought to the journal a discerning eye, deep intellectual care, and an ability to treat books as nodes in wider conversations. His ‘Reviews’ section has consistently foregrounded rigorous engagement and critical generosity. We thank him for his sustained contribution to shaping the journal's voice. We are pleased to welcome Debapriya Chakrabarti as the incoming Reviews Editor. Debapriya brings to the role wide-ranging expertise in architectural historiography, knowledge production, and the politics of space and identity, with a special focus on the majority worlds. We look forward to seeing the ‘Reviews’ section continue to thrive under her stewardship. CONTINUE READING
