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

Nexus Network Journal: Architecture and Mathematics Online

CFP Analytical Design in Architecture

Calls for Papers

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

Analytical Design in Architecture: New Developments

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.

This Call for Papers can be downloaded here: NNJ_Call for Papers_Analytical_Design.

Deadline for submissions for review: 31 January 2023

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

CFP Ratio and Proportion extension

Calls for Papers

The deadline for submissions has been extended to 15 February 2022

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

Ratio and Proportion in Architecture

Guest Editor:
Stephen R. Wassell

 Modelling

To commemorate the 450th anniversary of the publication of Silvio Belli’s treatise "On Ratio and Proportion", the Nexus Network Journal is dedicating a special issue to ratio and proportion in architecture. We hope to be able to present, through a collection of diverse research papers, a broad overview of the many facets of this fundamental concept. We welcome papers covering any cultures and any historical periods. We especially encourage a focus on contemporary architects and their works in which proportion has played a key role.

This Call for Papers can be downloaded here: NNJ_Call for Papers_Ratio-Proportion.

Deadline for submissions for review: 15 January 2022 15 February 2022

SpringerNature recognizes the NNJ for Editorial Excellence

Newsletter

Springer Editorial Excellence BadgeSpringerNature, co-publisher with Kim Williams Books of the Nexus Network Journal, has recognized the NNJ for editorial excellence.

The recognition says: 

Your journal is in the top 25% of qualifying journals* for editorial excellence.
Journal authors have the chance to tell us about their publishing experience throughout the year with the journal author satisfaction survey. The survey results reflect how highly your authors rate their experience publishing with Nexus Network Journal.
2020 was an exceptionally trying year. We appreciate the work, commitment, and passion that you and your Editorial Board continued to bring to your journal, resulting in these extraordinary accomplishments. Thank you!

*Qualifying criteria: Only journals with an external editorial board that receive ten or more responses from published corresponding authors in 2020 were considered in the analysis. The journal also had to receive an overall satisfaction score of or over the mean average for the year. From this selection of journals the top performing journals were chosen based on their mean score for the two statements “The editorial advice and comments throughout the process helped to improve the paper" and "The editors managed the peer review process well", asked about on a 5 point scale: strongly disagree (1), disagree (2), neutral (3), agree (4), strongly agree (5).

Co-Editors-in-Chief Kim Williams and Michael Ostwald extend our warmest thanks to Editorial Board, the authors and the peer reviewers who have made the NNJ the high-quality journal that it is today.

Sharing your article in the NNJ

For Authors

We want authors to know how to efficiently and legally share the research that they have published the Nexus Network Journal. 

Springer makes it easy for authors to share their work with a content-sharing initiative called "SharedIt". All information can be found here:

https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/sharedit

On this site the author is asked for the DOI of the article and an email address, and Springer will send a link. Alternately, on the webpage of the article, clicking on the tab "About this article" takes you to a page where there is a button "Get Shareable Link". The link that appears can be posted on all self-archiving sites (such as ResearchGate and Academia) and allows other researchers to access and read the article, even if they are not subscribers to the journal.

Springer's full policy on sharing can be found here:
