Founded in 1999, the Nexus Network Journal (NNJ) is a peer-reviewed journal for researchers, professionals and students engaged in the study of the application of mathematical principles to architectural design. Its goal is to present the broadest possible consideration of all aspects of the relationships between architecture and mathematics, including landscape architecture and urban design.

The NNJ is published four times yearly in print by SpringerNature/Birkhäuser and is available online at https://www.springer.com/journal/4

Analytical Design in Architecture: New Developments (Extended)

Guest Editors:

Vilmos Katona and Kristóf Fenyvesi


Modelling

Architecture could be considered as arising from the interaction between aesthetics and function. In other words, creativity in architecture involves both arts and precise planning, and is accordingly inspired by both nature’s complexity and the human mind’s capacity for non-restrictive abstraction. 

To bring these two halves together, architectural design could be understood as an organically evolving context of information patterns. Moreover, novel pattern languages could be developed integrating syntax analyses, design algorithms, fractal theories, gamification, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and other miscellaneous computational and mathematical approaches.

The goal of this special issue is to mobilize the synergies between various types of analytical knowledge for developing new platforms of intuitive planning and providing objective feedback for designers on a variety of design methods.

CFP From Geometry to Fabrication

Calls for Papers

The Nexus Network Journal is pleased to announce a Call for Papers

From Geometry to Fabrication in Architecture

Guest Editors:

Vesna Stojaković and Bojan Tepavčević


Modelling

 

Novel design methods such as fabrication-aware design, structurally informed design, material based design reflect increased interest towards creating new relations between geometry and fabrication in architecture. The objective of this special edition is to examine different relationships between geometry, architecture and fabrication. How can we efficiently fabricate complex geometric shapes in architecture? How can architectural design be enhanced through the connection of geometry and material constraints? Can we use fabrication tools to develop new language of geometric forms? Researchers, designers and builders are invited to submit articles on the relationship between geometry and fabrication process in architecture addressing these and similar questions and objectives.

 

This Call for Papers can be downloaded here: NNJ_Call for Papers_Geometry-Fabrication.

Deadline for submissions for review: 1 December 2022
