About
The journal CHORO-grafies seeks contributions with original investigations on current topics of architecture and urban space, aiming to promote and disseminate knowledge on theory and design of space in a variety of scales, the relation of built space with the environment and technology as well as bringing forth new theories of urban space.
Issues are published annually on a themed call; however, the editorial team may proceed with the publication of a special issue as well. Submitted papers are subjected to a double – blind peer review process by two reviewers and are published open-access.

Authors should expect feedback from the blind peer reviewing process within 3 months. Feedback may range from acceptance without revisions, acceptance after revisions, to rejection of the submitted paper. For more information, please see “Instruction for authors”.
