Journals

The Department of Architecture regards it as its responsibility to actively invest in providing a platform for academic exchange. To this end, the department supports the publication of five journals: Footprint, DASH, OverHolland, WritingPlace and OASE. Apart from DASH, these journals are all open-access; licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.

DASH

Delft Architectural Studies on Housing (DASH) is a thematic book series devoted to dwelling design. Inquiry into historical and contemporary projects and conditions is the central focus of DASH. New types of housing but also existing models and changing trends are examined. The target is the future: with thought-provoking analyses, DASH aims to give new impetus to innovative housing design.

Footprint

Footprint is an academic journal dedicated to publishing architecture and urban research. The journal promotes the creation and development – or revision – of conceptual frameworks and methods of inquiry. It is engaged in creating a body of critical and reflexive texts with a breadth and depth of thought which would enrich the architecture discipline and produce new knowledge, conceptual methodologies and original understandings.

OASE

OASE is an independent, international, peer-reviewed journal for architecture that brings together academic discourse and the sensibilities of design practice. OASE advocates critical reflection in which the architectural project occupies a central position, yet is understood to be embedded in a wider cultural field.

OverHolland

Over Holland: Architectonische Studies voor de Hollandse Stad is published by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Oudheikundige Bond (KNOB) on behalf of the Department of Architecture. Seeking to link urban analysis and architectural design, Over Holland includes both typological and morphological urban studies and questions architectural interventions in the context of Dutch cities.

WritingPlace

Writingplace Journal for Architecture and Literature is a peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal, published by nai010 publishers and TUDelft Open. The journal is a vehicle for exchange of knowledge on the relationship between architecture and literature and to address and promote alternative ways of looking at and designing architecture, urban places and landscapes through literary methods.
