The Architectural Institute of Japan’s Journal
of Architecture and Planning aim to pursue theories for building and
maintaining pieces of architecture as well as the cities or areas surrounding
them, and to accumulate and systematize the knowledge needed to put those
theories into practice. The Journal of Architecture and Planning focuses
on research results in the areas of “architectural planning and design,” “urban
planning and design,” “rural planning and design,” “architectural system and management,”
and “history and theory of architecture.” Accordingly, it compiles articles in
the following areas, disseminates relevant information, and hosts discussions:
・Housing and facility planning ・Fundamental theories in planning
and design ・Building construction planning ・Urban planning and design ・Integrated urban development master
plan
・Living environments and community
・Rural planning and design ・Housing and architecture management ・History and theory of architecture ・Urban history
・Conservation (theory, technique,
archive)
This journal shares
research articles by members of the (general incorporated association) Architectural
Institute of Japan, with a reading audience both in Japan and abroad.
