AND – Architetture, città e architetti is an international scientific journal that promotes practice, research, and theory in all fields and macro-sectors of design and architecture (CUN – Area 08), as well as in related areas of classical studies, literature, and art history (CUN – Area 10), and in historical, philosophical, and pedagogical sciences (CUN – Area 11).

Founded in 2003, the journal aims to stimulate debate and cultural enrichment on topical issues within the Italian and international scientific landscape. Each issue develops an “active” dialogue between two major themes (projects, figures, cultural or methodological trends), encouraging interdisciplinary and critical exchange.
