In this conference, the organizers are inviting contributors to help capture capacious new research examining the residues of queer histories in spaces, buildings, landscapes and material cultures.
Following research into classism, this issue aims to bring together various perspectives that critically examine dwelling in terms of class relations.
The conference aims to navigate and shine a spotlight on the historical interactions between these responses and architecture, encompassing attitudes towards the medieval built environment, remnants of the Middle Ages, and practices of reception and revival.
Over the past years, renewed attention has been given to calls for improving architectural history education through such means as diversity, anti-racism, globalizing histories, and anti-, post-, and de-colonisation, among others.
Body Matters aims to investigate notions of Body in contemporary architectural discourses. Always a fundamental in architecture, the body needs to be reconsidered on its own terms, as a creative, material and philosophical concern.
Throughout the 26th issue of Materia Arquitectura, the editors are looking for the cartography of resistances that are
being built in the conflicts of the present, but also those that are still silenced in the archive, with the intention
of recognizing ‘bodies’ –human and non-human, subaltern and outside the norm, clandestine or oppressed,
with ignored or unrecognized identity– and ‘territories’ –borders, peripheries, refugee camps, ghettos,
colonies, slums, shantytowns, popular neighborhoods– traditionally excluded from architectural thought
because of their mundane and subversive conditions.
This issue seeks to explore the boundaries of what can be considered “colonial” in histories of architecture and urbanism, in the past as in the present.
DocTalks is an informal, peer-to-peer, weekly online forum by and for PhD students, postdocs and early career researchers in architectural history and theory.
This call for position papers focuses on the activism related to these processes and debates and its role in both redefining the terms of heritage and (re)fueling a political involvement with the concerned collectivities.
The organizers invite innovative and freshly-researched proposals for creative and critical presentations – in all areas of avant-garde and modernist practice across all of the arts – which frame and re-frame our thinking about avant-gardism/modernism and war.
In line with the subtheme 8: Modernity and Diversity, the organizers would like to analyze how journals, conferences and personal and educational networks fostered exchange between architects and regions and nurtured the architectural debate beyond the Central European canon.
This session invites abstracts for research papers on modern roof gardens, with a particular focus on the twentieth century.
