It is a serial, open-access, free for authors and readers throughout the process, publication that uses double-blind peer review. Since its first issue in 1983, its content has included original and unpublished research results that expand and strengthen knowledge of Latin American architecture and its related disciplines.</p> <p>The journal accepts submissions of scientific articles, unpublished research results, master´s and/or doctoral theses, and conference papers.

<p>Recent political events that have shaken international politics have left architecture as a factor apparently outside the structural changes the world is undergoing. Changes reflected in wars, invasions, and occupations that, most of the time, have omitted or simply transgressed what has pompously been called the "world order". The social optimism for a world that respected law and agreements between countries, protected by cumbersome international organizations, seemingly could transfer its solutions to architecture. A discipline that, in recent years, has never been more global, more varied, more lavish, and, in memorable cases, more discreet. This has occurred through a direct and simple link to technological progress, with new challenges posed by climate change, sustainability, new means of production, and, above all, the depletion of traditional energy sources, which has led to the search for new sources. These new explorations are now investigating new types of energy whose natural resources - lithium, rare earths – have awoken the most voracious political and economic appetites.</p>
