XY 18: Non-Aligned Points: Roberto de Rubertis Award – First Edition.

We are pleased to share the international call for illustrated essays for XY 18 – Critical review of studies on the representation of architecture and use of the image in science and art.
The 2026 call is dedicated to: “Non-Aligned Points. Roberto de Rubertis Award”.

The international competition, open without age restrictions to professors, researchers, and scholars, focuses on fields of thought structured and reciprocally interconnected through an infinite multiplicity of directions, relating these fields to the four words that define the intellectual legacy of the architect, scholar, and teacher: drawing, design, survey, and evolution. Art historians are welcome to submit their proposals.

Submissions:
Papers should be submitted through the OJS platform, which ensures a double-blind peer review process. All relevant information regarding the submission procedure is available on the journal website: https://www.xydigitale.it/en/the-new-series-since-2016/
