VAD 16 Call for Papers: Las huellas

VAD journal announces its 16th issue, titled 'Las huellas' (The Traces), exploring the concept of traces in architecture as evidence of the past and seeds for the future. The call for papers is open from July 21 to September 30, 2026, coordinated by Silvia Canosa Benítez. The issue invites reflections on architectural footprints—built, drawn, or written—as legacies that enable learning and speculation. It references architect Antonio Fernández Alba's plea to preserve memory fragments, and draws on Italo Calvino's 'Camino de San Giovanni' to discuss divergent paths. The issue also highlights the overlooked traces of women in architecture, citing Anne Tyng, Charlotte Perriand, Gertrude Jekyll, Jane Jacobs, and Zaida Muxí Martínez's research. Contributors are directed to the VAD submissions page for guidelines.
