LivenARCH+ Journal, which is published twice a year in January , July and an additional Special Issue , includes theoretical and applied studies on current issues within the scope of design disciplines and research, discussion and opinion articles prepared on the basis of sciences related to the field of design. In this context, it is expected that the articles to be included in the scope of LivenARCH+ Journal will be original and scientific research studies, whose contribution to the relevant literature has been proven by qualitative, quantitative, experimental and analytical methods.
