Haut de pageWhat is ABE Journal – Architecture Beyond Europe
ABE Journal – Architecture Beyond Europe is a scholarly, blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of nineteenth and twentieth-century architecture and urbanism outside of Europe. It focuses primarily on the transfers, adaptations and appropriations of forms, technologies, models and doctrines in colonial and postcolonial situations.
The project was initiated as part of an international research network entitled European Architecture Beyond Europe that demonstrated the need to bring together otherwise disparate research and scholars concerned with the deployment of architecture from and to Europe through both formal and informal modes of imperial expansion, postcolonial nation-building, international organizations, the migration and exile of building and construction experts, and the transnational flux of ideas and concepts.
ABE Journal welcomes monographic and methodological essays; reviews of books, symposiums, and exhibitions; presentations of relevant historical documents and holdings, as well as recent dissertation abstracts. The journal’s editors also encourage proposals for guest-edited thematic sections to the volumes.
As a pioneering platform for exchange in a dynamic field, ABE Journal provides a specialist scholarly forum for the discussion and dissemination of historically grounded research relating to architecture in the colonial and postcolonial realms, as well as local forms of modernism.
The journal is supported by the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (CNRS, National Center for Scientific Research, France). See ABE Journal funding model and ethics
