SPACE Academia is the architectural theory research section of SPACE. The section serves to introduce academic papers that enrich and expand the research legacy of SPACE, in its search for future directions in ways of thinking about architecture. After being officially listed on the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) in 2008, SPACE Academia was established to coincide with the 45th anniversary issue in 2011. SPACE Academia, promoting critical discourse on architecture and urbanism, looks forwards to the emergence of a new research discourse that will open up new horizons and reinvigorate contemporary intellectual perceptions of architectural design.

The themes of manuscripts are revisionary architectural theory and history, the architect and architecture, architectural practice and education, and urbanism and landscape architecture. Of particular note is to extend understanding of East Asian cities and architecture more generally as a disciplinary field ripe for international academic inquiry. Manuscripts can be submitted at any time, must be completed in compliance with SPACE Academia Policy (download via vmspace.com), and can be submitted to the official email address (spaceacademia00@gmail.com). The manuscript is judged by two rounds of blind reviews: the preliminary review and the peer review. Manuscripts registered by the third week of each month will be judged during the first week of the following month by the editorial committee composed of the SPACE editorial team and three chief editors at SPACE Academia. Only manuscripts selected during the preliminary review will be subject to a three-person peer review process as part of the final decision to publish as an article. Submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by a 100,000 KRW authors’ fee and a separate publication fee will be requested upon publication of an article.
