| Footprint is a peer-reviewed architecture and theory academic journal

| An exploration of conceptual frameworks and methods of inquiry through critical and reflexive texts

Robert A. Gorny and Andrej Radman will be the editors of this issue, devoted to revisiting the built environment as middling between individuating technical ensembles and niche construction processes. It offers a platform to the transdisciplinary field of posthuman scholarship dealing with existential niches from a technological angle and the concomitant architectural thought that advances such speculative recasting.

Footprint is a peer-reviewed journal presenting academic research in the field of architecture theory. The journal encourages the study of architecture and the urban environment as a means of comprehending culture and society, and as a tool for relating them to shifting ideological doctrines and philosophical ideas. The journal promotes the creation and development – or revision – of conceptual frameworks and methods of inquiry. The journal 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. Footprint is grateful to our peer reviewers, who generously offered their time and expertise. In this issue, the following papers were peer-reviewed: ‘Architectures of Thought: Negentropy, Metabolics and the General Ephemeral’, ‘Forest Semiosis: Plant Noesis as Negentropic Potential’, ‘Being in the Hyper City, and the Posthuman Body’, ‘Transductive Architecture: What an Organology Produces – the Case of Le Corbusier’.
