    Architectural History
    Architectural History

    : Journal

    New to Cambridge in 2016Architectural History is a double-blind, peer-reviewed international journal that publishes significant original and interpretive research on buildings, the built environment, the history of architectural theory, and architectural historiography, in all places and periods. Articles in Architectural History are intended to be rigorous, analytical, and, although closely focused, also contextualize their subject and explore its relevance in relation to wider issues concerning the history and understanding of architecture.
