About the Journal

TRIBELON Journal fosters scientific research and critical debate on drawing and representation, providing a space for original and innovative reflections on the theories, methods and practices through which drawing is studied, interpreted and applied. It welcomes contributions that question established perspectives, explore emerging approaches and open new directions for research and discussion in the field, bringing together attention to contemporaneity, dialogue with tradition, and openness to possible futures.

The Journal intends to promote a close engagement with theoretical perspectives in the sciences of drawing, descriptive geometry, architectural survey, and representation, extending its scope to the scientific, technical and cultural disciplines involved in the production, interpretation and processing of images. It maintains and enhances an applied approach to drawing, digital representation, databases and visual communication, fostering dialogue between established disciplinary knowledge, emerging technologies and innovative research practices (read more about our Aims & Scope).

TRIBELON Journal is committed to the very highest standards of peer review and publishes academically rigorous and original works in several languages (English, Italian, French, German and Spanish). It is published twice a year, available in open access and in print.

The journal is planned as a series of single-topic issues as part of an investigation into the relationship between historical heritage and contemporaneity. The space in each issue is divided into a series of contributions that provide talks and considerations on a specific topic.

This becomes a tool for dialogue and critical investigation of the connections between architectural research and engineering, with a multidisciplinary approach aimed at transferring knowledge to the territory on an international and local scale.
