Certainly, it is not by chance that a decolonial worldview has been gaining strength at a time when an increasing number of countries in the global South are standing up against centuries-old mechanisms of domination imposed by North Atlantic nations. We have chosen the theme of decoloniality for issues 26 and 27 of the V!RUS journal, recognizing that the current controversies expressed in the academic sphere, questioning the validity of this thinking in its theoretical-conceptual or methodological aspects, present an opportunity for research and debate within Architecture, Urbanism, and related fields. However, our motivation is equally driven by agreement with some of its assumptions.
