Biannual monographic issues

The main publication format of TRIBELON is the monographic issue, normally published twice a year. Each issue is dedicated to a specific theme and is conceived as a coherent volume, with its own title, introduction, cover image and issue-level metadata.

Within each monographic issue, the journal publishes a core group of peer-reviewed research articles, usually around nine contributions, selected for their relevance to the issue theme and organised by the Editorial Board.

Recurring columns within the issue

Alongside the research articles, each monographic issue may include recurring columns. These columns are part of the issue, but they serve a different editorial function: they expand the theme through archival materials, contemporary research notes, graphical and technical contributions, or interviews.

Drawing from the past collects and promotes drawings from archival collections, with particular attention to the drawing archives connected to the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Florence.

Drawing from the present presents activities, events, publications, workshops and seminars related to the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, contributing to a catalogue of scientific production in the field of Drawing.

Graphical Codes is dedicated to scripts for generative modelling and to the relationships between the forms of descriptive geometry and the specific features of architectural modelling.

The Interview publishes conversations with scholars whose work is of particular interest. Interviews are normally invited by the Editorial Board, which may also consider proposals submitted through the platform.

Continuous Line

Continuous Line is separate from the scheduled monographic issues. It remains open throughout the year and can receive submissions at any time, without waiting for the publication cycle of a thematic issue.

This section gathers independent scientific contributions that are not necessarily connected to the current monographic theme. It provides an active space where researchers, scholars and professionals can present original, innovative or cross-cutting research topics while remaining within the scientific scope of the journal.

Special issues

TRIBELON may publish special issues when a proposal is approved by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. Special issues follow the same ethical requirements, peer-review process and editorial standards as regular issues.

Special issues may be connected to specific research programmes, conferences or thematic initiatives, but final editorial responsibility remains with the journal.
