Through the examination of architectural theory and related interdisciplinary studies, Architectural Theory Review provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information on areas of architectural interest, including studies of space and place, architectural history, the social context of architecture, sustainability, architecture and women, professional practice and ethics, design teaching and the impact of globalisation, science and technology on the built environment.

The journal welcomes submissions which relate architectural theory to contemporary thought in disciplines outside of architecture, including modern philosophical thought, sociology, ethnology, anthropology, gender studies, political theory, historiography, literary theory, ecology, computer theory, and education.
