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.

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

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