ACSA and Arquitectura | Tecnológico de Monterrey, in partnership with the ASINEA, are thrilled to announce the upcoming 2024 International Conference: “Inflections: becoming what is yet to be”.

The 2024 Timber in the City, Competition focuses on urban housing needs through the addition of a vertical extension made of wood.

TAD invites contributions that interrogate the complex milieu of coding in architecture and design through research, scholarship, and critical practice. We are interested in historical perspectives on architects’ role in the construction and hacking of building and computer codes, in activist practices overhauling legislative and informatic regulatory regimes in history and in the present, in critical contemplations on how the metaphor of code –as a linguistic or informational concept– has infused architectural discourse and practice, in applied research on coding in design and making, especially geared toward positive, transformative social and climate action.

This themed issue of the Journal of Architectural Education aims to identify and amplify practices of design research and action that engage the concepts of worlding, transitions, and energy.
