Architectural Design Journal (ADJ) : ARCHITENSA, was first published (Volume 1 Number 1) in February 2025 by the Architecture Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Merdeka University of Malang. ARCHITENSA Journal is a periodical publication that showcases architectural design works, including Academic Designs, Design Competition Results, and Real Project Designs. The journal focuses on architectural design as a form of intellectual and creative output—whether as part of academic assignments, competition entries, or professional projects. The main subject of study includes architectural entities related to space and form—of buildings, environments, and urban areas—across a range of scales. Design works are expected to reflect the dynamic interplay between physical form and contextual forces, including human activity, societal dynamics, and environmental conditions. These elements—alongside underlying value systems (social, cultural, economic)—are regarded as essential foundations in architectural design decision-making. While the scope remains open in terms of depth and thematic exploration, submissions that embrace multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches in architectural design are strongly encouraged. The editorial team of ARCHITENSA invites contributions from prospective, emerging, and professional architects whose works have not been previously published in any print or online media. The second issue is scheduled for publication in August 2025.
