Jan 18, 2010 is the deadline for submissions for The Aesthetics of Architecture Special Issue of the scholarly Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. Guest Co-editors:
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 7500 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:
