Bartlett Alumni Launch Second Issue of Urbanogram

Urbanogram: Journal of the Built Environment's latest issue, ‘Ghost Dimensions’, highlights work devoted to the invisible layers in the urban built form. The journal invites architecturally-minded researchers and practitioners from various backgrounds to address this intangible component in architecture throughout history at different scales. 

How do moments in history linger in physical spaces in both tangible and intangible manifestations? How does the experience, the feeling, or the lingering energy of a place continue to be addressed? How does the urban fabric reflect the inputs that shaped its current form? And how can physical dimensions be measured against the phantom dimension of time?

‘Ghost Dimensions’ unravels new facets of unknown connections, of underlying systems and processes and of yet unheard stories. In a variety of inquiries, contributors from across the globe explore the hidden ghosts which continue to haunt our built environment.

First published in 2021, the journal is an architectural platform to share diverse documentation of the built environment, uniquely sited within its historic continuum. 

The editorial team is made up of nine 2018 alumni: Cassandra Osterman, Fanny Ciufo, Lavenya Parthasarathy, Neha Fatima, Longhua Gu, Lei Jiao, Sophie Schrattenecker and Xin Zheng, who all studied Architecture & Historic Urban Environments MA, and Stefan Gruber who studied Architectural History MA.
