About the Journal

The creation of AIS (International and peer-reviewed journal) was born out of a growing recognition within the architectural field of the profound role that images play in shaping our understanding of the built environment. Architecture is not merely about constructed spaces, but also about how these spaces are perceived, represented, and interacted with visually. 

The AIS Journal is included in the +10 years experience of the Urban Creativity conference and publishing activities started by Graffiti and Street Art as topic of research. We have noticed that there was a noticeable gap in the literature dedicated specifically to exploring the visual dimension of architecture and in particular relation with processes of creation, both of and on architecture.

Current Issue

Vol. 6 No. 1 (2025): Territories

Ideological, physical, disciplinary territories. Private and public territory. Territory of the arts, territory of the sciences. Borders as conventions, abstractions, personal or collective. Defining boundaries, overcoming boundaries, dilution of boundaries. Political territory, communal, liberal, democratic. Territorial absence, materialism, material nihilism. Graffiti territory: when ends historical graffiti and it starts "modern" graffiti? Were are the limits of the "urban" territory? What can be defined as "the territory of the user"? Art and Place isn't it in the same territory of Public Art?
