In 2021, the Asylum design research journal continues to be published by the School of Architecture, Unitec New Zealand, and ePress, Unitec’s scholarly publishing house, as a both a printed and an online open-access publication, dedicated to design-led research and engaging design as research and its methodology. This issue is a student-focused end-of-year publication, with a double-blind peer-reviewed section of research papers, written by School of Architecture staff and associates. We have a following issue currently in production, which we had hoped to publish as a second 2021 issue; however, this is now scheduled for publication in the first half of 2022. It will be focused on a single
theme, and will be an industry- and profession-focused publication with a guest editor, and will include papers by academics from Unitec and other schools of architecture. With the help and support of the Advisory Committee, the Asylum editorial team is committed to ensuring the continued development of a scholarly publishing model and having an open-access research repository for the journal. Our hope and intention are to continue to grow the Asylum journal beyond Unitec to a broader audience in Aotearoa and internationally.
