“Modernities in architecture.” Call for proposals No. 26-2026

2026-04-28

The call for papers in Arquitectura y Sociedad (26-2026) proposes a critical review of modern architecture, understanding it not as a universal style, but as a discourse under construction, conditioned by social, political, and cultural contexts. It questions its applicability in non-modern societies, its ideological or pragmatic origins, and its links to international avant-gardes. This issue invites researchers and professionals to address the multiple facets of modernity, move beyond reductive stylistic views, and incorporate local and peripheral experiences, highlighting modern architecture as an attitude toward the present rather than a closed historical category.
