Architectural Essay Writing Competition Series (2021-2023) : A Journey Through Evolving Urban Landscapes and Cognitive Spaces

A Journey Through Evolving Urban Landscapes and Cognitive Spaces brings together selected essays from the Architectural Journalism & Criticism (AJC+) Essay Writing Competition Series (2021–2023). Curated and edited by Pappal Suneja, the volume explores five thematic cycles—cognitive dimensions of architecture, the role of precedents, travel and photography, historical narratives, and the relationship between water and urban evolution. The collection showcases emerging voices alongside guest contributions, weaving reflections on memory, identity, sustainability, and cultural exchange. By combining rigorous inquiry with expressive storytelling, the book highlights architectural writing as a medium of critical discourse and creative exploration, situating built environments within broader social, ecological, and intellectual contexts.

Anmerkung:
This edited volume documents the outcomes of the AJC+ Essay Writing Competition (2021–2023), an international platform designed to nurture architectural writing among students, professionals, and researchers. The book is structured around five cycles—cognitive space, precedents, travel and photography, history, and water and cities—each offering critical perspectives that link architecture to broader cultural, ecological, and social contexts. Guest essays on figures such as Hannes Meyer and Robert Fellowes Chisholm extend the scope of the volume beyond competition entries, situating them within global debates on modernism, colonial legacies, and design thinking. With contributions from diverse geographies and disciplines, the collection foregrounds architectural writing as both a tool for scholarly reflection and an accessible mode of creative practice. The volume will be particularly useful to libraries, educators, and students of architecture, urban studies, and cultural history seeking contemporary case studies and emerging voices in the field.
