The journal questions worldwide interactions and relationships with aesthetics in design and planning. Discussing the role of aesthetics in today and the future is also one of the strong aims of the journal. The journal integrating research, practice and education seeks to develop theoretical and methodological foundations by discovering innovative methods and techniques. Approach focus of DepArch is the design and built matters that shape and condition the architecture. Moreover, aesthetics in architectural research, including its reflection both in perception and in practice, will be addressed through theoretical discussion, methodological and empirical studies, and built environment practices in this journal. Architecture and aesthetics touch on philosophy, environmental psychology, humanity, history, conservation, heritage, culture, etc. DepArch brings together aesthetics within the design and planning to create innovative and sustainable environments for the architecture of the future. As long as the paper is relevant to the built environment, authors are not restricted to sending articles on the mentioned themes.
DEPArch also welcomes research articles that can lead to these objectives:
- to support using and application of technologies to both improve and conserve built environment
-to question the role of the architects, designers and other design fields as industrial design, spatial design and planning, architectural engineering, inter/multi-disciplinary research in forming built environment
- to reduce the environmental impacts to achieve sustainable built environment
-to evaluate the indoor built environment quality (visual performance, thermal, acoustic) and its effects on human comfort.
DepArch, is concerned with innovative and sustainable approaches to design and planning in shaping the architecture of the future, and aesthetics as an integrated part of this process. DepArch aims to bring together diverse disciplines to build a hybrid way of thinking about aesthetics, design, and planning. DepArch focuses on design and built matter that shape and condition architecture, and also addresses aesthetics in architectural research including the reflection of aesthetics in both perception and practice through theoretical discussion, methodological and empirical studies, and applications of the built environment. DepArch also covers all related topics of indoor and outdoor built environment and its interaction with humans while aiming to addresses architecture and aesthetics with topics such as philosophy, environmental psychology, human history, conservation, heritage, culture.
DepArch is a free, open access, scholarly international, e-journal considers original research articles, critics, book reviews in peer-reviewed. The international academic Journal of Design, Planning & Aesthetics Research (DepArch) publishes discussions on aesthetics from various creative disciplines related to the built environment, including; architecture, interior architecture, industrial design, spatial design, virtual reality, design technology, urban planning, sustainable cities, architectural engineering, inter/multi-disciplinary research, and other relevant fields.
