Elwin C. Robison, Architecture, Graphics, and the Net: A Short
History of Architronic, a Peer-Reviewed E-Journal

     Although many electronic journals are published on the
     Internet, the history of Architronic: The Electronic Journal
     of Architecture is unique because of the graphic nature of
     architectural communication.  Published by the School of
     Architecture and Environmental Design at Kent State
     University, the journal was begun as an experiment to
     determine what could be communicated about architecture in a
     text-only environment.  However, with the introduction of
     sophisticated Web browsers, the focus of the journal has
     changed to experiment with what can be communicated about
     architecture with combinations of text, still images, video
     segments, and audio segments.
