‘Technology is the answer. But what is the question?’ – Cedric Price
Since architect Cedric Price (1934-2003) posed this provocative question to the audience during a lecture in 1966, researchers and professionals, above all in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, have attempted to rethink our technology on numerous occasions. The SAJ thematic issue aims to reply to this challenge that remains pertinent owing to technological change (TC) by synthesizing artistic, theoretical, and technological positions. Authors are invited to continue the discussion on the more intelligent use of technology in building design, construction, operation, and assessment by questioning how it affects the future of societies and the environment. Topics of interest for this issue include but are not limited to technologically based practice, research, and education in the AEC industry, ranging from the methods and tools that enable the creation, simulation, and materialization to new ways of approaching the built-unbuilt environment relationship.
Contributions may provide perspectives on architectural production in a creative setting where technology supports collaboration between scientists, artists, and designers, as well as human-machine collaboration or new methods of interacting with nature. Also, subjects of interest are insights into the most impactful application areas in the AEC field for diverse emerging and growing technologies (including computational algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), simulations, digital fabrication, extended reality (XR)) as they increasingly transit from experimentation to practical implementation. The efficiency of these technologies as creative forces, predictive mechanisms, design and craftsmanship tools, educational aids, or vehicles to understand and direct resource flow and fully explore the circular potential of the built environment could also be evaluated in terms of help they could provide for us to move beyond current exploitative and destructive models towards a symbiotic regenerative approach and healthy environments of cohabitation in the Anthropocene.
Though primarily focusing on the topics with the background in architecture, urbanism, and urban planning planning, the SAJ also welcomes interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research and submissions from various academic disciplines.

SAJ 15/2 (2023): Call For Papers
Regional perspectives on Urban Morphology (ISUF2023)
Guest Editor: Ivor Samuels (Urban Morphology research group, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK)
Papers due: Abstract – 23rd of December 2022 / Full papers – 28th of February 2023
*If you prefer reading offline, please note that you can download Call for Papers in pdf.
The issue is intended for regional networks of urban morphology, established within the framework of International seminar of Urban form (ISUF), but also for emerging networks within the field. Papers could be submitted both by individuals or group of authors. Papers will go through double blind peer-review process.
The special issue is a supporting activity of the ISUF 2023 conference and should provide a platform for disseminating regional perspectives on the Praxis of Urban morphology. Praxis is perceived as a process by which theory/idea is enacted, embodied and realized, especially in the thirtieth year of jubilee. It is planned for this special issue to be available in hard copy to all participants at the ISUF 2023 Conference.
The University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture is honoured to host the 30th International Seminar of Urban Form (ISUF2023) conference in Belgrade, Serbia from September 4th to 9th 2023. ISUF 2023 presents a great opportunity to rethink the praxis of urban morphology, perceived as process by which theory/idea is enacted, embodied and realized, especially in the thirtieth year of jubilee.
Authors are expected to (1) provide insight into the context of urban morphology in specific country/language area/cultural space, (2) elaborate on intelectual heritage, chronologicaly and systamaticaly, (3) identification of periods/precedents/main topics/paradigms/inflenences, and (4) perspectives for further action, contemporary influences of the network, main challenges, etc.
Before submitting a full paper, please submit abstract with up to 250 words by sending it to email info@isuf2023.org

PhD in Process: Dialogue between Heritage and Technology
Guest Editor: Ana Nikezić (Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Serbia)
Papers due: 31st January 2023
*If you prefer reading offline, please note that you can download Call for Papers in pdf.
The third issue in the ‘PhD in Process’ series explores the dialogue between Heritage and Technology through an interdisciplinarity approach to the theme at hand.
The term Heritage is not only seen through the established definition of cultural heritage as a monument, a group of objects and localities or a museum, but also through a wide range of spatial phenomena and their mutual relations in space as a kind of unifier. The term Technology is seen in relationship with said Heritage, whether its role is in analyzing it, preserving it or promoting it through various forms of hard and soft methodologies.
The relationship between Heritage and Technology grows more complicated each day with the introduction of the ever-evolving digital technologies that allow new approaches to old questions.
“If we can see the present clearly enough, we shall ask the right questions of the past.”
– John Berger, Ways of Seeing
