A Special Issue of


Guest Coeditors:
David Goldblatt (Denison University)
Roger Paden (George Mason University)
Submissions on any philosophical subject related to architecture are welcome, but specific interests for this special issue include the following topics:
- the status of architecture in aesthetics and philosophy
- architecture’s relationship to the other arts (for example, materially, when buildings store, display, or present other art forms; and conceptually, when terms—such as ‘audience,’ ‘craft,’ ‘structure,’ or ‘narrative’—are used in discussions of architecture and other arts)
- how architecture helps to make a place (for example, places interior to and around buildings) and helps to determine a form of life (for example, its relationships to ethics, self, community, environment, the city, and nature)
- the cultural role of anonymous and vernacular architecture
- philosophical implications of newer building technologies
Submissions should preferably be under 7,500 words and in accord with the general guidelines for submissions (see “Submissions” on the JAAC website: www.temple.edu/jaac). Send submissions electronically as email attachments or by regular mail to both guest editors, indicating clearly that your submission is for the special issue on the aesthetics of architecture:
