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

Engineering seeks to attract, curate, and forge a combined body of knowledge shaping the built environment from a more action-integrated perspective. Questions include but are not limited to: What are the catalysts and constraints affecting greater integration across architectural and engineering processes? What are the attributes of high-performing integrated design teams? Which features of engineering research ecosystems or architectural design culture are suitable for emulation by collateral disciplines? How are integrated curricula today nurturing meaningful and productive interdisciplinary action between tomorrow’s architecture and engineering professionals? Which state-of-the-art engineering practices are enhancing the built environment to meet twenty-first century challenges?
