This issue of JAE aims to assemble a collection of research, design projections, ideas, and opinions that interpret anew the contemporary and the historical relation between health and architecture. The submission deadline for all manuscripts for this theme issue is July 30, 2021, 5 pm US Eastern Time Zone.

Join us virtually from September 29 to October 1 for the 2021 Intersections Conference. Learn about new discoveries and innovations from communities around the world and gain an increased awareness of research happening in both academia and practice. The conference will foster opportunities for new partnerships, explore interdisciplinary opportunities, find sources of funding and collaborations. It will be a chance for both established researchers as well as those looking to enhance their research capabilities or increase their knowledge, with keynotes, sessions, breakouts, workshops, and networking events. 

TAD invites original and creative research manuscripts for consideration in the Engineering issue. Engineering seeks to attract, curate, and forge a combined body of knowledge shaping the built environment from a more action-integrated perspective.

ACSA honors architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service. The award-winning professors inspire and challenge students, contribute to the profession’s knowledge base, and extend their work beyond the borders of academia into practice and the public sector.

The AIA COTE® Top Ten for Students Competition is sponsored by The American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE®), in partnership with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). Each year, the competition recognizes ten exceptional student design studio projects that integrate health, sustainability, and equity, evaluated following the same categories of the AIA COTE® Top Ten Award for built work, and the AIA Framework for Design Excellence (now adopted as the basis of professional practice and awards across the AIA).

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce TIMBER IN THE CITY 4: Urban Habitats Competition for the 2021-2022 academic year. The competition is a partnership between the Softwood Lumber Board (SLB), ACSA, and the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 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.

ACSA has compiled an initial list of links to related content, understanding that it is not exhaustive, that many others are working beyond our sphere, and that more work can be done. This list includes ACSA Research, videos of our recent online events, organizations, publications, and an extended list of resources to help you and your school.
