Architecture and Urban Studies is an English-language, peer-reviewed international academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarly communication at the intersection of urban studies and architectural practice and theory. The journal serves as a vital interdisciplinary platform for researchers, urban planners, architects, geographers, sociologists, historians, and policymakers to disseminate innovative research and engage with contemporary challenges facing the built environment and social sciences.

AUS' core mission is to bridge the gap between urban studies and architectural discourse, i.e. the socio-cultural analysis of urban spaces and the material, technical, and design-focused aspects of architecture, fostering a dialogue that recognizes buildings not as isolated objects, but as integral components of larger urban systems. It actively encourages interdisciplinary contributions that explore the complex dynamics of urbanization, spatial design, and the relationship between human activity and physical structures.

Architecture and Urban Studies welcomes original research articles, review papers, reports, editorials, case studies, etc. that address a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:

Urban Design and Planning: Strategies for sustainable urban development, master planning, public space design, and urban regeneration.

Architectural Theory and History: Critical analyses of architectural movements, historiographies, and the theoretical underpinnings of design.

Building Technology and Performance: Innovations in construction materials, environmental systems, building energy efficiency, and smart technologies.

Heritage and Conservation: Approaches to preserving and adapting historic buildings and urban landscapes for contemporary use.

Landscape and Urban Ecology: The integration of green infrastructure, landscape architecture, and ecological principles in urban environments.

Socio-Cultural Aspects of Space: Investigations into the relationship between urban form, social equity, community identity, and cultural practices.

Digital Applications: The impact of digital design tools, parametric modeling, GIS, and smart city technologies on architecture and urbanism.
