Call for Papers: JAE Pedagogies for a Broken World ⁠
Deadline: February 1, 2022⁠
⁠
Pedagogies for a Broken World aims to provide a platform for examining architectural education in the context of a broken world. What is architecture in that context and where and how do we teach it? How must the social and legal contracts change to adjust and fix architectural pedagogy for the broken world? What might constitute a broken-world pedagogy, both now and historically? How can architecture be engaged in the pedagogies of resistance, care, and repair? Pedagogies for a Broken World aims to demonstrate that these questions and practices are not only relevant socially, but also spatially, and to promote novel forms of scholarship and collaboration.⁠

JAE 75:2 building stories is available online! ⁠
⁠
THEME EDITORS: Lisa Findley, California College of Art⁠
and Marc J Neveu, Arizona State University⁠
⁠
"Stories and buildings both orient our lives, but in different ways. In stories we are othered. That is, stories of others—real or imagined, in books or on a screen—help us to see from another perspective, to empathize, to imagine other ways to cope with disasters and trauma, and to expand our capacity to be human. Architecture, intentional or not, frames our lives and our world, allowing us to see the world in new and even unexpected ways. We experience both buildings and stories over time. Just as books and films offer a variety of temporalities—narrative time, story time, and reading/watching time—architecture unfolds across a range of time, through our daily and annual routines and rituals, and on and on, across our lifetimes. As built artifacts, buildings weather and materials age. The meaning and experience of buildings, just like books and films, evolve. The sharing of stories and the shared experience of architecture build connections among us. Stories, like architectural form, are translated and interpreted across time and cultures and help to form, and also reveal, our identities—as individuals and cultures."⁠

Register today for the 2021 Administrators Conference! This year’s virtual administrators conference will have two core days — October 14 & 15 — as well as multiple supplemental sessions designed for current and future educational leaders. The conference will be a series of face-to-face online forums to collaborate, share ideas, and discuss.⁠
⁠
Theme: PROSPECTS ⁠
Dramatic changes in economies, demographics, regulation, technology, the environment, systematic racism, and inequalities are forcing architectural administrators to rethink existing educational models. This year’s conference will contemplate and re-examine today’s educational environment in light of the current challenges facing administrators. Structuring discussions around the theme of academic prospects, we will bring together different generations of administrators to discuss and debate innovative ways of realizing these changes.⁠

Call for Course Proposals | 2022 Timber Education Prize
Deadline: October 20, 2021

The Timber Education Prize seeks to recognize effective, innovative courses and curricula that create a stimulating and evidence-based environment for learning about timber. The use of wood as a building material can achieve multiple design, construction, and performance objectives. Therefore, these courses should equip students with the knowledge and design skills to achieve green building goals in a range of project types. From seminars and design studios to building technology classes and structures lessons, the variety of courses offered at schools of architecture demonstrates the importance of sustainable education with renewable timber at the core. Submit your course proposal today! #timber #masstimber #timbereducationprize #facultyprize
