Call for Articles: 21.2 edition of ENQ
In May 2024, the EAAE/ARCC 2024 biannual joint conference in Aarhus, Denmark invited participants to explore “future paths of architecture” across an array of topics including complex challenges around data collection, tools, creativity, pedagogy, materials, modeling, engagement, and much more. Tracks of the conference included Ethics and Social Responsibility; Sustainability; Interdisciplinarity; Education; and Innovative Materials and Construction. The ARCC board and ENQ Editorial Board would like to solicit proposals for articles to continue and broaden this conversation through an open call for articles.
Articles addressing these topics across different theoretical perspectives, epistemologies, and methodological approaches are encouraged. Scales addressed could be from the level of construction details (i.e.: envelope construction and indoor air quality, construction systems, etc.) to the building scale (i.e.: design for movement, circular economies, etc.) to the community scale (i.e.: participatory action research, community engagement strategies, etc.). Empirical research, literature reviews, and theoretical arguments, and methodological outlines are all welcome.
ENQ is the journal of the Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC) and a principle tool used by the organization in the development and support of a research culture in architecture. Enquiry is indexed by the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, Worldcat, OAIster, and Google Scholar. Enquiry is a member of the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) and archived by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and LOCKSS. It is committed to open access publishing and uses an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) allowing authors to maintain control over their own work.

01 July 2024. Announcement call for articles

Submission process: Potential authors need to register at the Journal’s website in order to submit an article for consideration ( http://www.arcc-journal.org/index.php/arccjournal/user/register ). All interaction and review is done through this portal. The author may log in at any time to see the stage of their article.
Enquiry is a research focused dissemination outlet. This means that topic and content is not restricted by theme, but articles are considered based on their research modality. The three major models of research are: Primary or contributive research
(working to produce a knowledge base with seminal questions and clear methodology)
Applied or speculative research
(synthesizing or applying existing knowledge in context)
Institutional research
(The study of research and institutions in, and allied with, the architectural discipline).
Ph.D level research is highly encouraged for submission – the ARCC is supportive to new researchers in our field.
Articles should be written in English and be between 6,000 and 12,000 words. They should include an abstract and keywords located before the introduction. The author’s names should not appear anywhere on the titlepage or manuscript as the journal is double-blind peered reviewed. Files should be in .doc, .docx or .rtf fomats. Total file size should not exceed 2mb. Images may be embedded in files submitted for review, but they should be at screen resolution. Otherwise, images may be uploaded as supplementary material if they are located for placement in the main text. Full submission guidelines can be found at:
