Through this open call and invited contributors, we seek exemplary 2D or 3D representations that open inquiry into how architect’s experiment in the design and practices of land-ing.

The AIA COTE, in partnership with the ACSA, have selected the recipients of the 2022 AIA COTE Top Ten for Students Competition.

The Professional Practice Education Library (ProPEL) is pleased to announce an open call for proposals for a series of video lessons in a range of areas (or units). A partnership between the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), the library provides a flexible online platform for faculty and students to access digital learning materials.

Changing performance criteria and evolving digital technologies contribute to the transformation of design mechanisms and question the logic of construction across all scales. The continuing digitalization of design, fabrication, and construction suggests a changing investigation of architectural tectonics, identifying updated frameworks that define the contemporary role not only of structures and their details but of all processes and supply chains involved. What are the driving and formative forces behind tectonics?

Reparations! invites architectural design proposals, speculative studies, and scholarly research addressing reparations in the built and destroyed environment. As architecture gives shape to asymmetrical effects on the environment, we ask how reparations look, operate, and affect Black and Indigenous communities, and what the potential effects are upon the state of architectural education and practice.

The program is intended to engage students, working individually or in teams, to imagine the transformation of our existing cities through sustainable buildings from renewable resources, offering expedient affordable construction, innovating with new and traditional wooden materials, and designing healthy living and working environments.
