Aims & Scope

ISVS e-journal publishes papers on human settlements looking into the acts of inhabiting their spaces manifesting in the production of culture, space and society and their multi-faceted manifestations. These include architecture, 'design' related activities, food production, rituals and visual and performing arts, and all other outcomes and practices resulting in the interractions between people, environments and places. The subject matter can thus include all aspects and 'happenings' involving ordinary people. The research could look at social geography, people-place interractions and even peri-urban and urban settings where vernacular practices exist. All the issues related to architecture and built-environments can be looked at.
