Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announce the winners of the 2026 Course Development Prize in Architecture, Climate Change, and Society. These innovative courses will be taught at ACSA member schools across the U.S. in the coming years. The jury selected two full courses to receive a cash prize and support to lead their course at their host institution within the next two years. In addition, the jury selected three full courses to receive an honorable mention.

ACSA is excited to announce its 115th Annual Meeting: INSIDEANDOUTSIDE, which will take place on March 18-20, 2027, in Atlanta, GA. The conference invites contributions that explore how current urgencies – climate, equity, technology, and civic responsibility – shape pedagogical priorities, and how architecture as a practice and architecture as a discipline may be perceived from both inside and outside our field.

For the third consecutive year, ACSA is partnering with The Op-Ed Project to equip faculty with strategies for public-facing communication and knowledge translation. This program is intended for architecture faculty whose research explores the spatial determinants of health and seeks to strengthen its impact on public discourse and policy. ACSA will select a cohort of twelve academics to participate in The Op-Ed Project’s Write to Change the World workshops.

ACSA, in partnership with the Urban Design Academic Council (UDAC) and the American Institute of Architects, Regional and Urban Design Committee (AIA, RUDC), is pleased to announce the 2026 Intersections Research Conference, which will be held in New York City on October 1-3, 2026. The conference will create opportunities for new partnerships, sources of funding, collaborations and critical observations. We seek work that advances theoretical, methodological, and practice-based perspectives, and that interrogates the agency of urban design across scales, cultural traditions, institutions, and communities. 

The American Institute of Architects (AIA), Housing and Community Development (HCD) Knowledge Community, and ACSA announce a competitive call for Housing in Architectural Education. The Housing Education Prize is a call for proposals for innovative courses and educational activities focused on housing in schools of architecture. We welcome proposals for required courses, electives, design studios, seminars, or hybrid formats. Submissions should articulate clear learning objectives, pedagogical approaches, and anticipated outcomes, and should demonstrate how the course prepares students to be effective practitioners, collaborators, and leaders capable of contributing positively to their communities.

ACSA is s excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 Architectural Education Awards, which honor architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service. The award-winning educators inspire and challenge students, advance the discipline’s knowledge base, and extend their work beyond the borders of academia into practice and the public sector.

The upcoming issue of TECHNOLOGY | ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN (TAD) welcomes submissions addressing new and original research on architecture, design, and technology. The focus area for this issue ventures into the territory of biobased, bioorganic, bio-fabricated, and regenerative materials and their applications in the design and construction of environmentally sound, livable, healthy, and socially just built environments. TAD invites contributions that address materials intended for standalone structures, as well as those designed to be interfaced and integrated with existing material, architectural, cultural, and historical contexts, particularly in areas such as preservation, maintenance, renovation, repair, and care of existing building parts, structures, and entire spaces. The journal welcomes research or scholarship on the topic of this call for papers or open topics on a rolling submission basis.
