The aim of Stoà 8 is to carry out a critical reflection on the words used in the teaching of architectural design today, in order to identify a conceptual vocabulary necessary to encompass (and possibly reinvent) the various subject areas of the discipline.

The conference seeks to give voice to a ‘language that we all inhabit’ and in which all these thoughts of proximity
and distance, science and vox populi manifest themselves.

The editors invite contributions that aim to critically expand the purview of architectural and urban discourse to address the contemporary discussions of technology and plurality. 

The organizers are looking for proposals investigating the conservation and preservation of modernist heritage as well as proposals examining the historicization of modernist architectural vocabulary in the contemporary era.

The second issue of the journal JADH is dedicated to the theme of “destruction”, its perceptions, as well as its implications that can be perceived in several fields of architectural heritage as positive and negative at the same time (destruction/construction, absence/loss, memory/oblivion, etc.).

This might refer to dimensions like embodiment in politics, questions of ethnicity, moral or religious stance, or socio-economic status, or as expressions in performances of and feelings such as pride, humility or, shame.

This special issue encourages contributions that address the urgent promises and risks that digital infrastructures, tools, and approaches hold.
