In the digital era, publishing architecture must take advantage of the potential of content platforms with multiple formats and the possibility of using various channels. However, readers demand — in the face of the avalanche of digital publications — a curated content that is focused and built with rigor and authority.
On its 30th anniversary Actar consolidates its online presence through the launch of urbanNext Lexicon, aiming at the creation and dissemination of specialized content in architecture and urbanism.
The platform is composed of “Lexicons” that organize the more than 4000 posts in clusters of information related to a research topic. The posts are categorized into different formats such as essays, talks, podcasts, book excerpts, projects, and photographic surveys exploring topics and spaces through images rather than words. Apart from providing access to 100 e-Books by Actar, urbanNext publishes weekly content by various influential contributors including architects, urbanists, researchers, artists, and more. Together, they all present the opportunity to engage in the future challenges of our cities.

THE PLAN Journal (TPJ) intends to disseminate and promote innovative, thought-provoking and relevant research, studies and criticism in architecture and urbanism. The criteria for selecting contributions will be innovation, clarity of purpose and method, and potential transformational impact on disciplinary fields or the broader socio-cultural context. The ultimate purpose of the TPJ is to enrich the dialog between research and professional fields, in order to encourage both applicable new knowledge and intellectually driven modes of practice.
