Sobre la revista
UOUsj és una revista científica internacional publicada per UNIVERSITY of Universities. Va néixer el 2021 com a col·laboració internacional d'escoles d'arquitectura, compartint els seus interessos interculturals.
Cada número es centra en un tema específic suggerit per una de les universitats involucrades en aquest projecte de recerca. Els temes fomenten un enfocament en la pedagogia en arquitectura i s'anuncien mitjançant una convocatòria realitzada almenys sis mesos abans de la publicació.
La revista és semestral (juny i desembre), amb revisió per parelles de doble cec, digital, d'accés obert i indexada. Publica articles originals en anglès, acompanyats de resums en les llengües maternes dels autors.

No 10 (2025): IN DETAIL
Guest Editor:
Angela Kyriacou Petrou / University of Nicosia, Cyprus
This issue explores the complex con-junctions between people, materials and meanings through the micro-scales of architecture. The detail is the point at which things meet –an entanglement between materiality and everyday life. From technical detailing to the materiality of living, the issue seeks to identify the potential opportunities held in junctions, processes and moments of material convergence. Whether matter or data, material moments are not seen as purely static but instead are understood as substances which exist in relation to natural or cultural events or potential interactions.Seen as part of a bigger story, ‘spatial evidence’- artefacts/ seams / openings / assemblages /flotsam /deposits/ leakages/ overflows/ wreckages/ erosion/disorder- all disclose a story about the corporeality of life through micro moments, acting as a testimony to life lived. In order to make these observations we need examine material details as moments of a larger series interactions and networks. Represented as a slice of space we witness our environment- like detectives - in slow motion, attempting to reveal micro details, opportunities, invisible stories, hidden worlds, and unknown lives- through the potential of the detail.
