in_bo is looking for two new members to join its editorial board. 

in_bo is an open-access online journal, founded in 2008 and owned by the Department of Architecture at the University of Bologna, Italy. It publishes yearly issues on architectural design, architectural history and urban studies, with a specific focus on pedagogical approaches in architecture and the intersections between architecture, culture, rituals and society.
