TAD 11.1 Biogenic Call for Papers

The upcoming issue of TECHNOLOGY | ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN (TAD) welcomes submissions addressing new and original research on architecture, design, and technology. The focus area for this issue ventures into the territory of biobased, bioorganic, bio-fabricated, and regenerative materials and their applications in the design and construction of environmentally sound, livable, healthy, and socially just built environments. TAD invites contributions that address materials intended for standalone structures, as well as those designed to be interfaced and integrated with existing material, architectural, cultural, and historical contexts, particularly in areas such as preservation, maintenance, renovation, repair, and care of existing building parts, structures, and entire spaces. The journal welcomes research or scholarship on the topic of this call for papers or open topics on a rolling submission basis.

2026 Timber Competition

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and Think Wood are pleased to announce TIMBER IN THE CITY 6: Urban Habitats Competition for the 2025-2026 academic year. The program is intended to challenge students, working individually or in teams, to reimagine the boundaries of wood construction in the urban environment, leading to the transformation of our existing cities through constructing sustainable buildings made from renewable resources, offering expedient affordable construction, innovating with new and traditional wood materials, and designing healthy living and working environments. Now in its sixth cycle, the series continues to push the urban potential of wood—this year by tackling the “missing-middle” gap between single-family dwellings and high-rise apartments. Entrants will deploy innovative, highly replicable wood-based systems on a real, under-utilized urban site to deliver attainable, human-scaled housing that strengthens community resilience and climate stewardship.
