Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announce the winners of the 2024 Course Development Prize in Architecture, Climate Change, and Society. These innovative courses will be taught at ACSA member schools across the world in the coming years.

ACSA and Arquitectura | Tecnológico de Monterrey, in partnership with the ASINEA, are thrilled to announce the upcoming 2024 International Conference: “Inflections: becoming what is yet to be”.

The 2024 Timber in the City, Competition focuses on urban housing needs through the addition of a vertical extension made of wood.

The conference asks educators, architects, and designers, how have disruptors inspired us to address urgencies of climate crisis, social inequity, resource scarcity, decolonization, and fair access to housing and health care, with renewed purpose? What can outliers and the traditionally marginalized teach us about breaking away from customary approaches? And most importantly, how can we (re)organize our efforts and ourselves to implement more effective action in the next quarter century?

TAD invites contributions that include but are not limited to the development, application, and role of generative processes and technologies in the design of the built environment across multiple scales; innovative applications in materials, fabrication, and construction; assessing the impacts of artificial and augmented intelligence on design cognition; innovative applications in design education; processes and methods for the critical curation of data; issues of authorship and intellectual property in the use of generative systems; the development of policies for their ethical use in education, research, and professional contexts; and the critical analysis of their historical, social, cultural, and economic impacts. The editors strongly encourage submissions highlighting contributions of women, minorities, and other people traditionally excluded or underrepresented in the field.

This themed issue of the Journal of Architectural Education aims to identify and amplify practices of design research and action that engage the concepts of worlding, transitions, and energy.
