About
Haecceity Inc.
Haecceity Inc. was founded in 2005 by Daniel Pavlovits in association
with the members of the Haecceity Inc. Advisory Board, in order
to establish a portal and voice for critical and radical architecture
theory in our time. The aim of the Haecceity project is to contribute
pertinent themes in architectural theory to academic discourse,
and by doing so vitalise the discipline of architectural theory,
and indeed architectural practice, at the beginning of the twenty-first
century.
It is our belief that architecture as a discipline can, should
and indeed must be experimental in nature - at least if nowhere
else then in the vanguard. It is hand-in-hand with this experimentation
that architecture theory has pertinence, and as such, the Haecceity
project has relevance. The Haecceity project seeks to expand the
knowledge and associated dissemination of critical architectural
theory in our time in order to expand the horizons of how architecture
is understood, practiced, and by way of that, what new terrains
it may hope to traverse.
The Haecceity project consists of:
- an individually themed twice-yearly journal titled Haecceity
Papers, with occasional additional themed special issues,
all of which are published here on our Online Publishing Portal
with hard-copy orders also available. Haecceity Papers
is abstracted and indexed in the Avery Index to Architectural
Periodicals. Haecceity Papers is a refereed publication;
- Quarterly Architecture Essay (QAE), or rather
dissertation, of approximately 12,000-20,000 words on a specific
and topical theme on, or contributing to, architecture theory,
published here on our Online Publishing Portal four times a year,
in addition to a release in book form through our publishing partner
Routledge of the thus published QAEs once a year. Quarterly
Architecture Essay (QAE) is a refereed publication;
- a regularly updated page of public lecture transcripts
and other short essays of the moment in critical architecture
theory, updated approximately once a month, many of which herald
new or upcoming books or book chapters;
- previews of print edition Haecceity titles published
by our publishing partner Routledge and announced here on our
Online Publishing Portal;
- selected book reviews of forthcoming or recently published
books in architecture theory and urban studies.
In addition to setting-up and publishing content on our Online
Publishing Portal, Haecceity Inc. has partnered with Routledge to
produce approximately 2-3 titles of print publications per year
in the form of academic monographs in critical architecture theory
and urban studies. These monographs are published by Routledge acting
as our publishing partner and carry a "This is a Haecceity Inc.
title" logo on their back cover.
