As TAD approaches its five-year anniversary, the editorial board reflects on the state of the journal, its objectives, and achievements, while looking ahead to the next chapter. We launched the journal five years ago to fulfill a need for a focused platform to share and advance peer-reviewed research in architectural technology. Design disciplines have become increasingly integrated with science, engineering, and computational disciplines, creating an editorial opportunity for a new publication to address these connections. The intellectual merit of this project is less intent on form-giving than on the formal processes of knowledge creation. To reflect this dynamic and evolving field, the journal’s founders aimed to position TAD as a central platform for disseminating architectural research while illuminating its diverse, interdisciplinary, and collaborative natures.
