Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge

"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.

Dimensions Issue 07/2024, edited by Eva-Maria Ciesla, Susanne Hauser, Hannah Strothmann, and Julia Weber, aims to initiate a discussion on the potentials and limitations of "Architecture as Intervention" in an era when architecture faces unprecedented global challenges. Viewing architecture through the lens of intervention positions it as a transformative tool or catalyst for change. The issue presents a diverse array of strategies that exemplify how architecture and its associated discourse have evolved into dynamic forms of intervention. By showcasing these innovative approaches, readers are invited to rethink the role of architecture in shaping the future and responding to the crises of our time.
