The journal is a research-based publication that presents articles from the perspective of the designer or artist. We also strive to extend our focus beyond architecture towards multidisciplinary discussions incorporating art and technology.

FALL ISSUE: IDENTITY
Forward 212 will explore concepts of identity. As innovators of art and architecture, we often wear multiple hats and have diverse talents that we channel into our projects, our teaching and our passions. How do we identify as architects, designers, students and teachers? Do we identify as public servants or as artists... Or even possibly as both? What roles do our constructed work, original ideas, and learned knowledge play in the context of identity, whether cultural or social, historical or theoretical, perceived or tangible?
In this issue of Forward, topics can consider branding, inter-disciplinary design, how perceptions are generated, and ideas that cross-pollinate between industries and professions. Research-based articles, as well as artistic works, can be explored to present ideas that bridge various disciplines and direct us to the future of the profession. Project-specific discussions can describe the abstract and conceptual, as well as how ideas related to identity can translate into everyday practice.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please email a final article to the Forward Director. Please attach a resume or curriculum vitae and include all requirements listed below as one complete package.
Forward requires that all authors provide their own line-edits. Authors are also responsible for proper documentation of citations and research as endnotes. All images permissions are the responsibility of the author.

- Please submit your article as a text document of 700-3500 words in MS Word (.doc) format.
- Please use italics (no underlining) when appropriate and follow the Chicago Manual of Style for grammar and references.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF RESEARCH/ THEORY ARTICLES
Forward encourages researchers, designers, artists and scientists to discuss their scholarly research. Articles focused on research should have a strong, original thesis related to the issue theme. We encourage multidisciplinary discussion and collaboration and actively seek broad perspectives from those outside the architecture profession.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF DESIGN WORK
Forward encourages design professionals to discuss their recently awarded, in progress or completed projects. Articles should specifically speak to the issue’s theme, and simultaneously discuss design intent and how it translates into the final project. Please describe the conceptual ideas, development process, project intent and project type or program. Also include edited documentation of plans, sections and relevant conceptual sketches, diagrams, model photos and construction photos.
