Call for Papers: Seasoned Modernism, Prudent Perspectives on an Unwary Past. Studies in History and Theory of Architecture journal
The journal of studies in History and Theory of Architecture (sita.uauim.ro), published by the Department of Architectural History & Theory and Heritage Conservation at “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest, Romania, invites international submissions for the 2019 issue: Seasoned Modernism, Prudent Perspectives on an Unwary Past.
Modernism has already become history. Commemorations such as the Bauhaus Centennial make it seem old, while, following the triumphant claims to its demise at the end of the 20th century, it could appear worn out. Yet, Modernism may very well be a decisive period of architecture’s professional history, as its ramifications into the contemporary building culture could prove more powerful than expected.
Which Modernism is dead? Which one is alive? What should better be forgotten and what should be furthered?
