Candide - Journal for Architectural Knowledge is a scholarly journal published twice a year at the Department for Theory of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, RWTH Aachen University.

Candide is dedicated to exploring the culture of knowledge specific to archi-tecture. How is architectural knowledge generated, collected, presented, and passed on? Which forms of architectural knowledge can be observed? How can knowledge generated in reference to a specific task be applied to other contexts? Which experts, designers, and users, which institutions and organizations are involved? Which techniques, tools and methods are instrumental? What do graduates of architecture schools know? What did architects of different periods know?Through which media is architectural knowledge disseminated? These are some of the central questions that Candide invites authors to address.
