Overview

The Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) has been the primary venue for research and commentary on architectural education since it was founded in 1947. In 1982 the JAE established a blind-peer-review process, making it the oldest continuing operating journal of its kind. The JAE is published by the Associate of Collegiate School of Architecture (ACSA) through Wiley/Blackwell. The types of articles the journal publishes include: Scholarship of Design, Design as Scholarship, Op Arch, Translations, Transactions, Interviews, and several form of review, from buildings + projects to books and symposia.

Faculty members at ACSA full-member programs, affiliate members, and supporting members, receive print copies of the journal as part of their membership and is available online through a live link from the ACSA home page to the Wiley InterScience site. Subscribers may access the InterScience site directly. Libraries, individuals, and organizations interested in subscribing may do so through Wiley/Blackwell.

Long a quarterly publication, commencing in autumn, 2009, the JAE transitioned to a biannual schedule (October and March), while increasing the number of pages it publishes yearly. This change is designed to better serve our international community of teachers, researchers, and administrators, daily confronted with an ever-expanding field of digital and print publications. Producing two larger issues per academic year (which coincide with the ACSA’s regional and national annual conferences), is intended to increase the journal’s visibility and usefulness by publishing more, less often. Moreover, the JAE is working to increase publishing opportunities and expanded services to our academic and professional community of design professionals through a substantially expanded web-based platform.
