CFP: ‘Impossible Architecture’ in: 'Universitas Gedanesis'

Jan Grzanka, editor of the biannual scientific journal ‘Universitas Gedanensis’, together with Roman Nieczyporowski, invite you to contribute to the next issue of the journal entitled ‘Impossible Architecture’.

The editors of the publication understand impossible architecture as an area of reflection situated at the intersection of idea and matter, design and imagination, revealing the boundaries and contradictions of contemporary architecture. The topics covered include both projects that have not been realised for technological, economic or political reasons, as well as visions that exist only in the form of drawings, models, narratives or virtual environments. Impossibility is treated not only as a structural problem, but also as a social, ethical and ecological category, making architecture a tool for critical reflection on contemporary models of design and habitation.

The editors plan to publish two issues of the journal, which will then be followed by a book published by the Krakow Society of Authors and Publishers of Scientific Works ‘Universitas’. For several years now, a series of publications has been appearing, based on articles published in the Universitas Gedanensis journal, supplemented with additional materials, published under the common title Bibliotheca Culturae Scriptae (Library of Written Culture).

Each volume in the series is planned as a separate collective work, edited by Jan Grzanka and an expert in the field invited to collaborate. Roman Nieczyporowski is the co-editor of the volume ‘Impossible Architecture’.

All information about the journal (including back issues) and the series is available at: universitasgedanensis.com.pl. The tabs ‘For authors’, ‘Reviewing policy’ and ‘Publication ethics’ contain detailed guidelines for publishing articles in Universitas Gedanensis.
