Future Anterior
Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation
Future Anterior approaches historic preservation from a position of critical inquiry, rigorous scholarship, and theoretical analysis. The journal is an important international forum for the critical examination of historic preservation, spurring challenges of its assumptions, goals, methods, and results. As the first journal in American academia devoted to the study and advancement of historic preservation, it provides a much-needed bridge between architecture and history.
The journal also features provocative theoretical reflections on historic preservation from the point of view of art, philosophy, law, geography, archeology, planning materials science, cultural anthropology, and conservation.
Future Anterior is essential reading for anyone interested in historic preservation and its role in current cultural debates. Click here for an index to the contents of past issues.

Fieldwork and Applied Research and Learning–Preservation Outside of the Traditional Classroom in the 21st Century
Future Anterior Journal
Guest Editor: Brent R. Fortenberry
Manuscripts Due: March 30, 2020
Historic preservation is an applied discipline that aims to provide tangible benefits for communities. Fieldwork is the vehicle through which we achieve our preservation goals. Early preservation fieldwork often entailed windshield surveys or intense analog built heritage documentation. These efforts were designed to generate empirical, baseline knowledge about the past. Today, preservationists thoughtfully engage with not just the historic built environment, but also the people and communities who live, work, and value the past as it is embedded in the present.
It is the applied, service-oriented, and capacity-building aspects of preservation fieldwork that set it apart as an academic discipline and a profession. Fieldwork is preservation in its most impactful form and frequently lies at the intersection of research, education, and service where we simultaneously can advance our understanding and interpretations of the past, better prepare students to be practitioners who will lead and facilitate preservation efforts in communities through high-impact learning, and provide training, programming content, and capacity to stakeholders.
Driven by new technology, data collection methods, and research questions, preservation field research and learning is changing constantly, with projects often taking transdisciplinary approaches bringing together the diverse aspects of the field from documentation, built environment history, public history, planning, materials and architectural conservation, design, and heritage studies.
Future Anterior seeks papers that explore the diverse and dynamic methods and means through which we research, teach, and engage with stakeholders outside of the academy and the traditional classroom. Potential topics include, but are not limited to–fieldwork pedagogy and philosophy; stakeholder engagement and capacity-building; new mapping, recording, and documentation technology and its application; inter- and meta-disciplinary approaches to fieldwork; service learning.
This issue will foster new and path-breaking dialogues on the state of preservation research, the manifold ways we are training students to be critically-engaged preservationists, and the new means through which we are positively impacting communities and stakeholders, ultimately pushing forward the preservation theory, research, and practice in the 21st century.
Future Anterior is a peer-reviewed (refereed) journal that approaches the field of historic preservation from a position of critical inquiry. A comparatively recent field of professional study, preservation often escapes direct academic challenges of its motives, goals, forms of practice, and results. Future Anterior seeks contributions that ask these difficult questions from philosophical, theoretical, and critical perspectives.

Retrofit--Energy Crises & Climate Exigencies from Preservation’s Perspective
Future Anterior Journal
Guest Editors: Fallon Aidoo and Daniel A. Barber
Manuscripts Due: June 1, 2020
For this issue of Future Anterior, we welcome papers that examine historical or contemporary retrofitting practices and theories in relation to climate crises and energy challenges. Although “‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” served as a catchy public education tool for American environmental activists and American practitioners in the 1990s, adaptation of the built environment to the climate has deeper, broader roots than recent efforts to reduce new construction, reuse existing building stock, and/or recycle building materials. Retrofit, a theory of preservation practiced globally in accordance with diverse disciplines, politics, cultures and resources, is a crucial aspect of the world’s low carbon past and future.
The diversity of retrofit practices across time and space warrants decolonizing the concept of “theory” and democratizing consideration of its formation. We invite authors to thought leadership, by illuminating the ideas and projects of underrepresented practitioners or by exploring how and why certain works of design and development have become sites of disciplinary adoration and/or discursive attention. Together, these case studies of retrofit will shed light on the archive of preservation that motivates and mobilizes individuals, institutions and industries to invest, both financially and culturally, in smart growth and degrowth.
We seek papers that fall into three categories - Retrofit’s Roots, How “Other” Retrofits Measure Up, and Retrofitting Conservation, each described below. We are interested not only in research-based texts appropriate for academic peer review in multiple disciplines (historic preservation, conservation, architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, real estate development, community/economic development), but also project, policy, and program evaluations appropriate for peer review by practitioners in these fields. Scholarly texts of no more than 4000 words (including references and footnotes) will undergo double-blind, peer review. Although authors are invited to submit papers on people, places, and projects across the globe, all submissions must be written in (or translated into) English for consideration. Only papers submitted to Future.Anterior.Journal@gmail.com by the deadline--06/01/20--in the formatting described below will be reviewed for publication.
Retrofit’s Roots
The first category anticipates reflection of past development and preservation practices for future models of energy efficient, low-carbon modes of habitation – the ‘retro’ in retrofit. Rigorous retrospectives on how mitigation and conservation periods and places of energy scarcity and environmental crisis may help designers, planners, and policymakers envision the preservation of these built spaces as they encounter an unanticipated future. Fresh takes on historically valued projects (e.g. Bauhaus Dessau, Germany; UN Building, NY, USA; Pedregulho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) whose renovation has presented energy challenges or propelled conversations about preservationists’ response to climate instability and its effects are welcomed. Grounding contemporary climate actions – from policy and planning to design and development – in histories of conservation and preservation are the aim of papers in this category.
How “Other” Retrofits Measure Up
A second category highlights “othering” in retrofit theory and practice. Papers in this category explore metrics of mitigation and conservation - how and by whom they are developed and what purpose and publics they serve. Paper submissions may explore a particular firm’s design methods or industry’s development models for saving energy, such as LEED prescriptions for “retrofitting suburbia.” However, authors are expected to address how and to what extent the sponsors and/or practitioners of these preservation paradigms differentiate or distance their work from the ways in which other public, philanthropic, and nonprofit sector actors evaluate solutions to energy and climate concerns of the present and the future. Also of interest is how climate measures developed outside the building professions and industries - amongst environmental justice organizers and resilience strategy organizations, for instance - develop independently of architects, planners, and engineers of retrofit,. Ultimately, the papers in this category contribute to our understanding of consensus, contestation, regulation, and resistance amongst diverse proponents and practitioners of architectural renovation, community revitalization, and landscape rehabilitation.
Retrofitting Conservation
A third category invites reflection on and redirection of preservation theory and training on retrofitting, aware that questions of energy have been essential to the theory and practice of conservation since the immediate post-war work of James Marston Fitch. Authors are encouraged to place academic, professional, bureaucratic, corporate, and grassroots ‘schools of thought’ about climate and energy challenges in the context of wide-ranging conservation advocacy and environmental activism. Especially of interest are papers that examine how conservation movements and motives (re)shaped pedagogies and professional development of design, planning, and preservation before the Green New Deal entered the lexicon of their schools of thought and education. We welcome papers that push scholars, educators, and professional membership organizations to rethink their own knowledge of climates and retrofit their approaches to variable, low- and no-energy conditions as distinct as the affluent Napa Valley and debt-burdened Puerto Rico.
