×'Architecture &' is a themed publication, edited by Dr. Cary Siress, with each issue featuring a select topic set in conjunction with that of architecture. The aim is to understand the diversity of relationships and interactions that continue to broaden the field of architecture, while offering readers a mix of perspectives on the implications of such exchanges. Each edition appears in print bi-annually and is circulated to selected venues worldwide. The launch issue (Volume 01) considers 'Architecture And Property', currently a theme at the heart of many unresolved but critically important debates.

×Scheduled for publication in Autumn 2009, Volume 02 considers Architecture & Work. This theme takes on poignant significance in light of the current global financial turmoil. The next conversation will be opened by asking how work, in all its varied meanings, is situated within current architectural thinking and related fields of enquiry. To engage such questions, Mark Jarzombek (Professor of History, Theory, and Criticism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Architecture), whose work includes the recently published book A Global History of Architecture, is invited for an extended contribution with cover art by Donald Urquhart and Photographer John K McGregor.
'Architecture &' welcomes contributions from individuals and groups, including practitioners, researchers, educators, artists and activists. Contributions are reviewed by an editorial collective comprised of ACE faculty as well by seminal figures in academia and practice abroad.
