History of Architecture

An International Symposium on “History of Architecture”
as part of the 10th Annual International Conference on Architecture
6-9 July 2020, Athens, Greece
sponsored by the Athens Journal of Architecture

The Architecture Unit of ATINER is organizing an International Symposium on “History of Architecture” as part of the 10th Annual International Conference on Architecture, 6-9 July 2020, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Architecture.

The scope of the symposium embraces not only socio-cultural, political, philosophical, and pedagogical, frameworks for interpreting and articulating architectural history but also critical enquiry into the historical language of architectural form as it has developed together with any implications for understanding the built environment from antiquity to the end of the 19th century. Papers on historical technologies and their role in advancing the development of architecture are also invited. The symposium encourages relevant, cross-disciplinary, research and welcomes papers on Western, Eastern and other (un)built architecture forms.

You may participate as presenter of one paper, or observer.

Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.

Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized, including a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.

Please submit an abstract (email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by the 22 June 2020, to: Dr Anna Hooper, Academic Member, ATINER, Coordinator, Lecturer, Lead Tutor, Ormond College and Melbourne School of Design, The University of Melbourne, Australia. Please include: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Current Position, Institutional Affiliation, an email address and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions will be reached within four weeks of your submission. 

If your submission is accepted, you will receive information on registration deadlines and paper submission requirements. If you want to participate without presenting a paper, i.e. lead a stream, chair a session, review papers to be included in the conference proceedings or books, contribute to the editing of a book, or any other contribution, please send an email  to Dr. Gregory T. Papanikos, President, ATINER (president@atiner.gr).

The association was established in 1995 as an independent world association of Academics and Researchers. Its mission is to act as a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, in order to exchange ideas on their research, and to discuss future developments in their disciplines.

The organizing and hosting of International Conferences and Symposiums, the carrying out of Research, and the production of Publications are the basic activities of ATINER.  Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than 400 International Conferences and other events, and has published close to 200 books. In 2012, the Association launched a series of conference paper publications (click here), and at the beginning of 2014, it introduced its own series of Journals (click here).

Academically, the Association is organized into 6 Divisions, 37 Units and 6 Centers.  Each Unit organizes at least an Annual International Conference, and may also undertake various small and large research projects.
