To provide standards of excellence in architectural history through the following means: SAHANZ was established in 1984 by Professor David Saunders, at the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
Among these, were Judith Brine (1986-87), Fiona Gardner (1993-95), Philip Goad (1997-99), John Macarthur (2001-03), Hannah Lewi (2005-07), Peter Kohane (2007-09), Robin Skinner (2009-11) Stuart King (2011-13), Christoph Schnoor (2013-15), Antony Moulis (2015-17), Naomi Stead (2017-19), Paul Hogben (2019-21, 2021-23).
While one need not be a member of SAHANZ to publish in Fabrications, the Journal's contents reflect the wide interests of the Society's diverse membership.
It particularly welcomes papers on the architectural, urban and landscape history of Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and South-East Asian regions, while casting its net much further afield.
The journal thus publishes refereed, academic essays and book reviews (by invitation or application) that are both purely concerned with the region, and which take a wider view of international questions, or issues beyond the Society's obvious frame of reference.
SAHANZ invites professional, academic and student members who have an interest in the field of architectural history and theory in Australasia, Asia and the Pacific.
