“Routes and rises” another very interesting call from Materiali & Strutture. A prerequisite for any possible use and enhancement of a site, and experiencing its architecture up close and from the inside, we are looking for papers that explore how the choice of routes is addressed and resolved as part of individual restoration and new use projects.
Dimitris Theodossopoulos will be happy to discuss any ideas with you before you send us an abstract.
Deadline 9 May 2026
The Journal of Historic Buildings & Places (formerly Transactions of the Ancient Monuments Society) is on the look-out for articles for future editions. We publish annually, usually in March, and would like submissions of around 7,500 to 10,000 word, well-illustrated, essays that have a focus on the historic buildings and places of the United Kingdom. This could be articles about specific buildings or places, or areas of research that highlight a topic of conservation or heritage management. The journal has in the past covered areas of interest outside of this country. Articles are peer reviewed and publication may be dependent on changes being made as the referee suggests.
If you have an essay for consideration or if you would like to discuss a potential contribution, please contact the editor, Paul Holden FSA on editor@hbap.org.uk.
