Focusing on colonial and postcolonial aspects of the wider built environment from the nineteenth century onwards, it also considers issues such as professional networking, the circulation of printed media, and the transmission of models, technologies and doctrines from and to Europe. Published by the research center InVisu (CNRS/INHA) in Paris, the journal is committed to encouraging a diversity of approaches and methodologies, including cross-cultural and transnational perspectives.
The journal is supported by the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (InSHS) of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
