“…The main feature of this information transfer is that the Russian-speaking EDR community has remained largely distant from its English-speaking colleagues. Suffice to say that in a list of 58 countries whose authors have published in ArchNet-IJAR for the 10 years since the journal was established, Russia is not represented (Salama et al , 2017, p. 9). There are numerous reasons for this distance.…”

Purpose The topics “environment,” “environmental design” and “environment and behavior studies” are important and promising in architectural discourse. The academic culture of the global west plays a unique role in the development of the knowledge within the field of environmental design research (EDR), from which these concepts originate. This paper examines the western names, works and ideas related to EDR that have spread into Russian architectural discourse. The purpose of this paper is to consider the status quo of Russian knowledge of EDR and its connection with the western EDR tradition. Design/methodology/approach The method of research in this paper is the analysis of references and keywords of architectural publications from the largest Russian academic online library – e-library.ru. Findings The origin, evolution and current state of environmental architectural knowledge in Russia are discussed. Its segmentation including the presence of several self-organized spheres within the EDR domain and the variety of “dialects” of environmental language are illustrated. The connections of each segment of Russian knowledge with western authors and sources are traced. Further, conclusions are drawn regarding the similarities and differences between Russian and western knowledge in the field of EDR. Originality/value The relationship of Russian architectural theory with western EDR knowledge has not previously been the subject of a comparative scientometric study.

“…While the journal does not publish regular editorials associating each edition, it is at a moment in its evolution and development that requires presenting key highlights of growth, performance and the types of knowledge it has generated. This is given that the latest coverage celebrating a decade of the journal was published, five years ago (Salama et al, 2017) and that the journal has achieved excellent performance since then. Over the past five years, Archnet-IJAR has witnessed its re-birth with its acquisition by Emerald Publishing, together with the reshaping of advisory and editorial boards, the additional of excellent members of advisors and reviewers, marking a new phase of excellence in architectural and urban research which commenced in Vol.…”

“…There have been several attempts to unpack the nature of content published within the two preceding knowledge areas which were outlined in earlier review articles (Salama et al, 2017) to represent research fields as well as in earlier editorials that endeavored to develop thematic analysis to unveil specific topics, contents, methodological approaches relevant to the content published in an edition (Salama, 2019a, b). However, in this article, the aim is to establish specific categories representing knowledge spaces based on the overall contributions to the journal since its inception in 2007, then map the recent contributions, published over the past five years, to these knowledge spaces to ascertain a more lucid and reasoned understanding of Archnet-IJAR role in the development and dissemination of knowledge in architecture and urbanism.…”

PurposeCommemorating the 15th year anniversary of discourse, knowledge dissemination in architecture and urbanism through the contributions published in Archnet-IJAR: International Journal of Architectural Research, since March 2007, this article aims to capture, unpack and categorize the key content of published research outputs during the last five years into knowledge spaces.Design/methodology/approachWhile referring to key statistics of various recognized databases in order to highlight the journal growth, development and performance, the approach to the analysis is inspired by Crysler's Writing Spaces: Discourses of Architecture, Urbanism and the Built Environment. This is established through a preliminary conceptual content analysis that enables the development of specific content categories representing knowledge spaces based on the overall contributions to the journal since its inception in 2007 and then mapping the recent contributions, developed over the past five years (2017–2021), to these knowledge spaces. The thrust of the analysis is to instigate a structured understanding of Archnet-IJAR role in the development and dissemination of knowledge in architecture and urbanism.FindingsThe examination of the content and the analysis reveal two broad categories of knowledge spaces: established and evolving. Established knowledge spaces are recognized in terms of theorizing architectural and urban production; the public realm and assessment of designed environments; housing, the informal and the vernacular; urban heritage and historic environments; and architectural and urban politics. Evolving knowledge spaces were acknowledged in terms of architectural education and design pedagogy; collaborative planning and community design; architectural and urban sustainability and resilience; health, wellbeing and engaging with nature; and COVID-19 spatial and pedagogical implications. Characterized by clear definition and at the same time transparent borders, the identified knowledge spaces have the potential of generating further possibilities for future knowledge spaces.Research limitations/implicationsIn addition to a holistic analysis based on the scrutiny of contributions as they progressed from submissions to reviews to publishing, future work would involve more systematization, in-depth engagement with metadata and should benefit from IT applications and data mining software packages.Practical implicationsThis article is regarded as a cognizance platform and an enabling mechanism for researchers and future contributors to identify the unique particularities of their research, the nature of the content they aim to develop and the way in which that content may contribute to one or more knowledge spaces.Originality/valueEstablishing an understanding of the knowledge spaces which represent contributions published in Archnet-IJAR, the knowledge spaces identified demonstrate diversity and plurality; diversity in ontological interpretations of the nature of reality and plurality and pluri-epistemology in terms of how methods are pursued and the way in which such interpretations are developed, recorded, documented and communicated. These are knowledge spaces of possibilities and anticipation of growth, evolution and development.
