CfP: Beyond the Institution: Transforming the Learning Environment in Architectural Education. GAM Magazine

Call for Papers: Beyond the Institution: Transforming the Learning Environment in Architectural Education. GAM Magazine.

GAM.18 (Graz Architecture Magazine) is interested in expressions of architecture education that critically integrate into their practice the spaces and institutions in which this teaching takes place. The actual form—be it more radical pedagogy like collaborative learning forms, peer-to-peer methods, outdoor learning such as design-build roaches, nomadic courses, or transdisciplinary types of work—takes a back seat to the question of how the transition from an understanding of teaching to an understanding of learning takes place in these spaces.

Abstracts (max. 500 words) on the topic “Beyond the Institution,” along with a short biography, can be submitted to gam@tugraz.at until May 25, 2021. More information can be found here.

GAM is published in English and German, and its editors are comprised of members of the Faculty of Architecture of Graz University of Technology. The submission deadline for the final contributions is September 13, 2021.
