TRIBELON Journal of Drawing and Representation of Architecture, Landscape and Environment is the new, official journal of Architectural Studies, Identity, Memory, and Digitization of Cultural Heritage within the Drawing area at the University of Florence. It offers a critical space of debate for the different paths of enquiry within the national and international panorama of science of representation. It aims at bringing together care for contemporaneity, a dialogue with tradition, and attention to possible futures.
The Journal intends to promote a close confrontation with theoretical perspectives of the science of drawing, architectonical survey and representation, while maintaining and enhancing the specificity of the applied approach to drawing and digital databases issues for visual communication.

Call for Papers - Vol.2, No. 4 (2025)  

Topic - Configurare: Ordine e Misura / To Shape: Order and Measurement

The proposed theme of the call seeks to foster reflection on the central role of order and measurement in architectural survey and representation. From technical tools to interpretative keys, they reveal design logic and cultural meaning.
The call invites interdisciplinary contributions that explore the meaning, application, and epistemological challenges associated with order and measurement, through theoretical, empirical, or practice-based research. Submissions that offer new insights or perspectives across historical, contemporary, and speculative future contexts are invited.

La tematica proposta per la call intende promuovere una riflessione sul ruolo centrale di ordine e misura nel rilievo e nella rappresentazione architettonica. Da strumenti tecnici a chiavi interpretative, essi rivelano logiche progettuali e significati culturali.
La call accoglie contributi interdisciplinari che esplorino il significato, l'applicazione e le sfide associate allo studio dell’ordine e della misura mediante ricerche teoriche, empiriche e pratiche che propongano nuove prospettive o approfondimenti in contesti storici, contemporanei e futuri.
