DEPARCH Journal of Design Planning and Aesthetics Research

Aims & Scope

DEPARCH Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research explores the aesthetics of design, architecture and planning for all aspects of the built and natural environment. This includes architecture, interior architecture, industrial design, spatial design, virtual reality, design technology, urban planning, sustainable cities, architectural engineering and inter/multi-disciplinary research. DEPARCH covers research, practice and education, seeking to develop theoretical and methodological innovations which explore the multivarious aspects of environmental aesthetics. Submissions can cover theoretical discussions, methodological developments, as well as empirical studies and built environment practice. DEPARCH is of interest to disciplines as varied as architecture, environmental psychology, human history, conservation, heritage and cultural studies. The journal questions worldwide interactions and relationships with aesthetics in design and planning. Discussing the role of aesthetics in today and the future is also one of the strong aims of the journal. The journal integrating research, practice and education seeks to develop theoretical and methodological foundations by discovering innovative methods and techniques. Approach focus of DEPARCH is the design and built matters that shape and condition the architecture. Moreover, aesthetics in architectural research, including its reflection both in perception and in practice, will be addressed through theoretical discussion, methodological and empirical studies, and built environment practices in this journal. Architecture and aesthetics touch on philosophy, environmental psychology, humanity, history, conservation, heritage, culture, etc. DEPARCH brings together aesthetics within the design and planning to create innovative and sustainable environments for the architecture of the future. As long as the paper is relevant to the built environment, authors are not restricted to sending articles on the mentioned themes. DEPARCH Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research also welcomes research articles that can lead to these objectives: • to support using and application of technologies to both improve and conserve built environment • to question the role of the architects, designers and other design fields as industrial design, spatial design, urban and landscape planning, architectural engineering, inter/multi-disciplinary research in forming built environment • to reduce the environmental impacts to achieve sustainable built environment • to evaluate the indoor built environment quality (visual performance, thermal, acoustic) and its effects on human comfort Articles should disclose original data that has not been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
