More About Architecture

Ashgate's Architecture publishing programme brings together a comprehensive range of subjects and types of publications. All scholarly works are rigorously peer-reviewed, and our handbooks present the latest and best practices in design and construction management. Our aim is to present an innovative and interdisciplinary program, of the highest quality in both content and production.

We have a strong heritage in publishing scholarly research monographs and edited volumes on architectural history. This area of our list remains very active and should you have a project that you wish to discuss, please get in touch with the appropriate visual studies editor. For projects on the medieval and early modern periods, please contact Erika Gaffney; for studies treating the 18th to 20th centuries, please contact Meredith Norwich.

More recently, Ashgate has been focusing on expanding our publications on contemporary architectural theory and design. This part of our list links into a more general spatial studies programme relating to urban design, landscape, urban and cultural geography, cultural studies, heritage, conservation and planning. Please contact Valerie Rose if you would like to discuss a project in this area.

We also publish a range of titles for the architectural and design practitioners including handbooks and reference works on construction and design management. For further details or if you would like to discuss a possible publication in this area, please contact Gower Publisher, Jonathan Norman.

Our Lund Humphries Art imprint includes several beautiful architectural volumes, including Ptolemy Dean's Sir John Soane and London, and The Drawings of Sir Christopher Wren. For more information on the possibility of publishing within the Lund Humphries programme, please contact Lucy Clark.
