Call for Articles

Buildings & Landscapes examines the places that people build and experience every day: houses and cities, farmsteads and alleys, churches and courthouses, subdivisions and shopping malls. The journal’s contributors—historians and architectural historians, preservationists and architects, geographers, anthropologists and folklorists, and others whose work involves documenting, analyzing, and interpreting vernacular forms—approach the built environment as a windows into human life and culture, basing their scholarship on both fieldwork and archival research. The editors encourage submission of articles that explore the ways the built environment shapes everyday life within and beyond North America.

Articles submitted to Buildings & Landscapes will be assessed using a double-blind peer review process; manuscripts should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while under review by the journal. Visit http://www.vafweb.org/ for guidelines.

Formerly titled Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture, Buildings & Landscapes is published twice a year by the Vernacular Architecture Forum. Contributors should submit manuscripts based on original research, not previously published in print or electronic media; manuscripts need not be based on material presented at a VAF annual meeting.
