REIA is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the critical study of architecture in its theoretical, technical, political, and cultural dimensions. Indexed in the Avery Index, Latindex, and Dialnet, it offers an international platform for original research, speculative projects, and interdisciplinary perspectives on the built environment.
REIA follows a flexible editorial model with three concurrent calls: a rotating thematic call on emerging issues, a permanently open call for high-quality submissions on any architectural topic, and a space for pedagogical contributions focused on teaching, studio culture, and design research.
This issue explores Architecture Without Interiors as a critical framework for rethinking contemporary spatial practices. Rather than announcing the disappearance of enclosure, the concept foregrounds the tension between protection and exposure, boundary and relation. Organized around three lines of inquiry—culture and territory, climate and comfort, and expanded space—the contributions examine how architecture today negotiates climate, ecology, and collective life through transitional conditions. Together, the articles trace a shift from the stable interior toward relational, atmospheric, and situated forms of inhabitation.
Submissions for Issue 28 of REIA are open until May 15, 2026. The issue will be published on June 30, 2026.
The thematic section of Issue 28, The Common Beauty: Who Defines Beauty in Contemporary Architecture?, opens a critical debate on who holds the authority to define beauty today, which interests shape its construction, and how aesthetic criteria in architecture are produced, negotiated, or contested.
Article submissions for REIA issue 27 are open from August 1 to October 30, 2025. The issue will be published in late December.
The thematic section of this issue will focus On Transitions: Architecture Without Interiors, with Camilo Restrepo Ochoa as guest editor.
