ARCC Best Journal Article Award

Nominations Due: October 28, 2024

The ARCC Best Journal Article Award recognizes distinguished works of architectural research published as a peer-reviewed journal article by a faculty member at an ARCC institution. This award recognizes a journal article published within the past three years (2019-present) that significantly contributes to architectural research by demonstrating rigorous or innovative use of evidence or methods. Journal articles may be on any topic in architecture or related fields.

Each ARCC member institution is invited to submit one nomination per year. The criteria for selecting a nominee will be at the member school’s discretion.
