About the Journal
PILGRIM : Journal of Architecture and Philosophy is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to critical, reflective, and interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of architecture, philosophy, culture, and the humanities. The journal positions architecture not merely as a technical or aesthetic discipline, but as a philosophical, cultural, ethical, and existential practice embedded within human life, place, and meaning.
PILGRIM provides a scholarly platform for exploring architectural thought through philosophical inquiry, phenomenology, ethics, metaphysics, hermeneutics, anthropology, theology, and critical theory. The journal welcomes contributions that examine architecture as a medium of human values, cosmology, memory, identity, power, and spatial experience, as well as its role in shaping social relations and cultural narratives.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:
-
Architectural philosophy and theory
-
Phenomenology of space, place, and dwelling
-
Architecture, meaning, symbolism, and cosmology
-
Vernacular, traditional, and indigenous architecture
-
Architecture and ethics, spirituality, and sacred space
-
Architecture in relation to culture, society, and politics
-
Critical reflections on modernity, postmodernity, and contemporary architecture
-
Interdisciplinary dialogues between architecture, philosophy, and the humanities
PILGRIM aims to foster deep intellectual journeys—true to its name—inviting scholars, researchers, and practitioners to reflect on architecture as a path of inquiry, a lived experience, and a philosophical quest for understanding the human condition through space and form.
