About the Journal

Largo Duomo, the bi-annual magazine of the Order of Architects PPC of the Province of Livorno, founded in 2018, is a publishing project marked by significant phases of evolution: The first editorial phase, with Pacini (Pisa) until 2021, represents a legacy that the new Council of the Order of Architects PPC of the Province of Livorno, which took office in June 2021, has taken on with the ambition of improving the quality and selection of the contributions included, in order to disseminate on the Tuscan and national territory a more inclusive, open magazine, attentive to contemporary architectural trends and research. The second phase of publication (Edizioni ETS, Pisa, 2022) will include a new graphic design and an update of the structure of the issues.

Largo Duomo, in its print and digital versions, publishes articles, essays and specific contributions on architecture, with the aim of exploring themes and spaces that are still of great value, capable of translating visions and aspects of contemporaneity in the form of signs, images and words. The specific contributions, divided into columns, each of which is edited by a member of the editorial staff, represent the magazine's distinguishing features, which reflect differentiated themes. The "Meridiani" and "Paralleli" sections bring together essays and articles that explore architectures, built and unbuilt, and lines of research.  

The essays collected in the Meridiani section -published in dual languages (Italian, English) - are selected according to a double-blind peer review process.

"Interferenze" explores the intersection of art and architecture, "Ricerche" rediscovers architecture, "Quai" photographs architecture, "Dentro" explores the interior of architecture studios, "Concorsi" imagines architecture, and "Letture" presents architecture in book form.

Largo Duomo's lines of research include built architecture, with a particular focus on Tuscany and Livorno, experiences in architectural design theory (mainly Italian), the relationship between architecture and landscape, architecture and photography, and architecture and publishing.

Largo Duomo invites authors to respond to the open calls, published every six months, by sending their contributions in the form of abstracts (max. 1500 characters including spaces) with title, subtitle if applicable, and keywords (max. 5), accompanied by a short biographical note of the author (max. 150 words including spaces).
