The emergence of creative art-based practices, film making, post-disaster designs and slum management, as part of the architecture discourse and curriculum, is an indication of how broad architecture has become, and the extent to which it has already merged peripheral practices into its core. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new volume in the \u003ci\u003eAHRA Critiques Series\u003c\/i\u003e is a statement about how broad, complex, influential, and, ironically central, architecture has become in the contemporary culture, economy and society, despite the marginal position the profession currently occupies. \u003ci\u003ePeripheries\u003c\/i\u003e questions and challenges the boundaries of architectural research by bringing together subjects and relevant streams of investigation, some of which rarely feature in architectural research and practice titles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into four themes, \u003cb\u003ePlaces of Formation and Insight\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ePractices at the Edge\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ePeople on the Margins \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eEdge Readings\u003c\/b\u003e, each section presents a selection of high calibre interdisciplinary research papers, from a range of renowned contributors including Stephen Walker, Gerry Adler, Dana Vais and author Glen Patterson.
