How has the &ldquo\;global turn&rdquo\; in architectural discourse evolved out of histories of contact\, conquest and colonization? Forty years ago\, th e influential essays of &ldquo\;&rsquo\;Race\,&rsquo\; Writing and Differe nce&rdquo\; appeared in Critical Inquiry (Gates\, 1985\, 1986). Essays by Edward Said\, Homi Bhabha\, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak\, Hazel Carby\, Jac ques Derrida\, Abdul R. JanMohamed\, and others created new critical model s that interrogated how difference had been inscribed as &ldquo\;race&rdqu o\; and explored the complex interaction of race\, writing and difference\ , which influenced architectural history and theory for several decades. T hat same year\, Spiro Kostof&rsquo\;s textbook A History of Architecture ( 1985) spurred a &ldquo\;global turn&rdquo\; in architecture that has compl icated the field&rsquo\;s canon. The new global discourse seeks to underst and contemporary globalization as manifested in the built environment\, ex emplified by the foundation of the Global Architectural History Teaching C ollaborative (GAHTC) and the publication of multiple volumes on global arc hitecture. The global turn has attempted to close the dichotomies of east and west\, north and south\, imposed by earlier colonial and postcolonial theories\, such as Edward Said&rsquo\;s formulation of Orientalism as the &ldquo\;other&rdquo\; of the Occident (Said\, 1978). Perspectives from the &ldquo\;Global South&rdquo\; have emerged as an important corrective to t he hegemony of Northern Hemisphere-centered scholarship and practice. What has resulted from this &ldquo\;turn&rdquo\; has been ambiguous\, however\ , as it often focuses on architects from the Global North operating in the Global South or developments modeled after Western architecture and urban design\, without a concomitant innovation in truly global approaches and subject matter.This Special Issue aims to explore the field&rsquo\;s devel opment from de/colonial and postcolonial theory to the global turn and bey ond. We encourage papers that take innovative approaches to the colonial\, postcolonial\, decolonial and global in architecture\, including such top ics as: transnational connections and flows in excess of political boundar ies\, decentered models of global architecture\, race and architecture\, f eminist\, subaltern and minor perspectives on architecture\, empire and de colonization\, migration\, Indigenous architecture\, informal architecture \, landscapes of extraction and dispossession\, modernization and developm ent\, and other perspectives.Architecture is a fully open access journal\; all articles are immediately and freely available online to read\, downlo ad\, and share once published.

What is the status of postcolonial and d ecolonial discourse in architecture?
