Call For Papers

The yearly journal CLARA ARCHITECTURE/RECHERCHE launches a call for thematic issue to be published in CLARA’s 4th volume, expected for Spring-Summer 2016.

Clara’s thematic sections
CLARA ARCHITECTURE / RECHERCHE is a double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal, financially supported by the FRS-(Belgian) Fund for Scientific Research. Each volume comprises a thematic section of 6 to 8 papers dealing with a clearly identified architectural issue. This « main » thematic section is sometimes paired by a « secondary » thematic section which presents a more limited number of papers. A special section is dedicated to the presentation of documents from the Archives d’Architecture at the ULB, and two miscellaneous papers provide accounts of teaching and cultural activities taking place within ULB’s Faculty of Architecture.
Each volume comprises a detailed summary and abstracts for the main section’s articles.
CLARA ARCHITECTURE / RECHERCHE attaches a privileged importance to the research methods and tools deriving from the field of architectural design, in particular to original drawings, graphics, and pictures both as means of inquiry and as non-textual support for explanations.
CLARA ARCHITECTURE / RECHERCHE is published in a 20x25cm format (188 to 232 pages), black & white, but sometimes includes one to two 16-pages full-color inserts.

Editorial Policy
The proposals for thematic issues and the contributions herein must be the fruit of authors affiliated to at least tree different institutions, and however no more than 30% of the authors should be affiliated to a same institution.
The consistence of each thematic issue, as well as the quality of its contributions, are ensured by a double-blind peer-review process, relying on an external board of expert and pluralistic reviewers. Criteria applied are : 1) Originality of the subject ; 2) Research methods ; 3) Relevance and readability of the argument.
Should a proposal for a thematic issue be accepted, the editorial board, after hearing the advisory board, may still refuse to publish a contribution that would not comply with editorial policies in terms of quality and consistence. Hence, guest editors are invited to propose a number of contributions slightly superior to the number of papers that shall be published. French is CLARA’s privileged working and publishing language, but contributions in English are welcomed. In this sense, if only a limited number of English contributions is received, the editorial board may translate it into French at its own expenses.
