The discourse and research of architecture have been scattered for a long time. As an inherently interdisciplinary field, architecture often works in the spaces between other disciplines. These two difficulties make a repository of scholarship all the more necessary, yet until now, completely absent. With the creation of ArchRN, that repository is now open and connected directly to dozens of similar networks of professional investigation that will not only produce affinities but also help to expand the discipline of architecture greatly.
ARCHITECTURE CRITICISM

Description:This area includes content that demonstrates a significant critical eye toward new projects of architecture both built and speculative. The sections, New Construction and Competitions, represent two of the most dominant subcategories of the conversation surrounding the state of the built environment today. Historically, Competitions have been held for some of the world's most significant projects. Although less common today, they are still a fixture within the criticism conversation.

Description:This area includes content on the history of the world told through the lens of architecture as well as the history of architectural objects. Architecture history has a profound impact on the world at large including individuals of all statuses. The topics within this area divide the world into three epochs, Pre-Modern, Modern, and Post WW2, for organizational purposes but do not pretend to argue that world history can be so cleanly divided.
ARCHITECTURE NEGATIVE RESULTS

Subscribe: http://hq.ssrn.com/jourInvite.cfm?link=Architecture-Negative-Results
Description:This area includes content in which negative results were found. Negative results are instances in which the expected outcome of the research was not borne out by the results. The negative results area includes papers that have controversial or provocative results that challenge established theories as well as papers that replicate or support findings published elsewhere.
ARCHITECTURE SCIENCES

Description:This area includes content on all forms of architecture sciences ranging from sociological approaches to structural engineering. The topics in this area are somewhat disjointed, but necessarily so, as they represent the breadth of content covered by architects and researchers.
ARCHITECTURE THEORY

Description:This area includes content on the theories that define architecture as well as those that post-rationalize architecture. Architecture theory as a topic is difficult to define, but this area contains conversations from Philosophy, Design, and Aesthetics.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION

Subscribe: http://hq.ssrn.com/jourInvite.cfm?link=Historic-Preservation
Description:This area includes content about the maintenance, restoration, and renovation of historic sites of architecture. This network spreads back to ancient history by way of Archaeology and stretches well into the 20th century. The decision to restore or demolish an architectural work is discussed in this network as well as the conversation between restoration and renovation.
INTERIOR DESIGN

Description:This area includes content on the topic of interior spaces. These projects, although once the purview of architects, are more and more commonly being completed by interior designers. They remain, however, the primary means by which people interact with Architecture. Humans spend the majority of their lives inside and thus the interior deserves a separate network for discourse.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Description:This area includes content on the topic of exterior spaces.
