Founded in 1999, the Nexus Network Journal (NNJ) is a peer-reviewed journal for researchers,
professionals and students engaged in the study of the application of mathematical principles to
architectural design. Its goal is to present the broadest possible consideration of all aspects of the
relationships between architecture and mathematics, including landscape architecture and urban design.
