About the Journal

Acta Architectonica et Urbanistica (AAeU) is a double-blind peer-reviewed international research journal in the field of architecture and urbanism published by the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Architecture. Journal focuses on research of cities and buildings and explores a wide spectrum of relevant topics, bridging the gap between theory and practice in the disciplines of architecture and urbanism. The journal invites architects, planners, urban designers, interior designers, landscape architects, civil engineers, art historians, geographers, cultural theorists, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and scholars exploring architecture and built environment from various research perspectives.

Taking into account such a wide range of topics, it is necessary to highlight the uniqueness of the journal that defines its identity framework. In this context, an objective approach to the issues of the current architectural scene in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Balkans, SE Europe is encouraged, as well as its positioning within the global environment of rapid changes, specificities, and contradictions.

Acknowledging the fact that architects have a responsibility to address the socio-cultural atmosphere and offer potential solutions, the intention is to foster international exchange of experiences and knowledge, where scientific and practical approaches are equally valuable and inseparable, and their reflection is of utmost importance, both within the profession and beyond.

Publication frequency of Acta Architectonica et Urbanistica (AAeU) is two issues per year (June and December).

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts throughout all year, and the journal editorial team will conduct the editorial selection, review and production process, and make sure that the article is published as soon as the process is completed.

The submissions are made through the platform, where the authors will have a continuous update on the status of their submission.

Upcoming Special Issue: Retrospective and Perspective - Architectural Education and Practice (October 2025)
Opis naslovnice 1200x1700px

This special issue explores how architectural education can bridge research and practice, responding to the evolving needs of society. As technology reshapes every aspect of our profession, from artificial intelligence to sustainable materials and methods, the role of architectural education must evolve to prepare future professionals for a rapidly changing world. Much like driving, when we simultaneously look ahead and in the rearview mirror, connecting reflections on the retrospective and the perspective of architectural education and practice, we hope this issue will serve as a platform for critical discourse and a source of inspiration for architects and urban planners seeking to navigate the complex relationships between cultural identity and progress, education and practice in 21st-century architecture.

The special issue will feature essays by former students of the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Architecture, who have distinguished themselves as outstanding professionals and theorists. Their work has reached far beyond the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, simultaneously bringing recognition to the school of architecture where they studied and earned their degrees.

The special issue will be published in October 2025 in English and B/H/S language.
