Black Lives Matter
Welcome to Aggregate's website for the publication, workshopping and discussion of advanced research in architectural history and theory.
We publish peer-reviewed work, gathered under the thematic umbrellas Matter, Discipline, Plots, and Systems. (You can read more about what we publish here.) We also post announcements about and host discussions of significant events and publications in our field.
We announce the publication of new work via our email list (sign up here) and on our Twitter feed. We invite proposals for pieces and projects to publish, and look forward to comments and questions.
