TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PERIODICALS AS AN ARCHITECTURAL DATA BASE

View our work

The architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has an extraordinary database where the most important concepts, events and buildings have been registered: the architectural periodicals.

Periodicals as a Data Base

In the twenty-first century, it is scarcely possible to think about scientific research without considering the digital aspect. The world that we are living now is more and more reliant on data, in which we can find valuable information, identify patterns of behaviors and visualize information on a big scale. Some digital analytical tools have reached very important results in terms of the massive treatment of information. These kinds of analytic processes have been largely used in many scientific and humanistic disciplines, with positive results. However, the research on architectural theory has never made an efficient use of these technologies.

Experiencing new techniques of digital text analysis, our aim is to offer a new vision of the architecture evolution and how it is divulged through the texts published on these magazines.
