National Conference of the Beginning Design Student: Projective Environments
PROJECTIVE ENVIRONMENTS
The beginning years of design education are informed by the interaction of environmental, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries within the territory we inhabit. While foundational pedagogical practices can be dominated by Eurocentric and canonical models of aesthetics and form, how can we explore plural foundations in architectural education?
Projective Environments bridges the disciplines that design in and for the built environment to frame design education as an interdisciplinary practice rooted in responsible pedagogies, responding to how current design decisions impact future worlds. In addition, we are interested in how feedback loops from individuals in academia, both students and faculty, influence developments in regional pedagogy and broader design education. This conference invites scholarship from the constellation of design programs that explore how geographies, environments, and situated knowledge ground design and technical understanding.
s-architecture is intended for scholars of Architecture (academe, practice, students, and the public). The list posts scholarship and grant opportunities, academic jobs, calls for papers, notices of conferences which will be of interest to academic staff, postgraduate students, and those in the profession with a scholarly turn of mind.
