Call for Papers: Dialectic VI: Craft – The Art of Making Architecture
DIALECTIC, a refereed journal of the School of Architecture, CA+P, University of Utah.
Dialectic VI invites articles, reports, documentation, and photo essays on the craft of architecture and the architecture of crafts(wo)manship. Following the thematic issues of Dialectic II on architecture and economy, Dialectic III on design-build, Dialectic IV on architecture at service, Dialectic V on the figure of the vernacular, the sixth issue of our peer-review journal will explore the topic of craft: the art of making architecture, how, for whom, by whom, employing which techniques, to what ends?
The editors value critical statements and alternative practices. We hope to include instructive case studies and exciting models for professional practice. Possible contributions may also include mapping of ongoing debates across the world, and reviews of books, journals, exhibitions and new media. Please send abstracts of 350 words and short CVs to Ole W. Fischer fischer@arch.utah.edu and Shundana Yusaf shundana@arch.utah.edu by 1st June 2017.
