For its upcoming issue, TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN seeks submissions exploring the multivalent relationships between technology and the history of the built environment. How are new technologies transforming historical research? How are practitioners and researchers utilizing technology to advance historic preservation, restoration, and archival practices? How have technological successes and failures shaped the evolution of architecture, landscapes, and cities around the globe? TAD welcomes manuscripts that define and analyze the connections, overlaps, and reciprocal impacts that occur between technology and history in any time period and at various scales. The editors strongly encourage submissions that highlight contributions of women, minorities, and other people traditionally excluded or underrepresented in the histories of technology, architecture, and design.

Read the full call for papers at TADJournal.org.

“Where Are My People? Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander in Architecture” chronicles both societal and discipline-specific metrics in an effort to highlight the experiences of designers, architects, and educators of Asian, Hawaiian, and Pacific Island heritage.

Join us on December 2, 2020 from 6:00–7:30PM EST for the next online discussion: Advancing Scholarship on Equity and Justice Across the Built Environment.

Moderated by Christine Theodoropoulos with panelist including: @andrzejzarzycki @norawendl @erichardson74 @sharonhaar, Manuel Cordero Alvarado, @gundulaproksch, @williamson_june, Victor Rubin, and @kan8g.

This online discussion examines ACSA’s contributions to the past decade of research and creative practice that advances scholarship on equity and justice in built environments. A panel of ACSA Research & Scholarship Committee members will present preliminary findings from its review of ACSA publications, activities, and a survey of ACSA members, followed by dialog among participants that address the following questions:

1. How has the ACSA and its members conducted and recognized scholarship that pertains to social justice in architecture?

2. What are common criteria and methods used to evaluate or recognize this work?

3. Are there gaps or blind spots that limit or compromise opportunities for meaningful impact that the ACSA can help to address?
