108th ACSA Annual Meeting

OPEN: Reinvented Annual Meeting

Conference Notice: COVID-19

In light of the recent public health updates regarding COVID-19, the ACSA Board of Directors has decided not to hold the 108th ACSA Annual Meeting in San Diego next week. Recognizing the scholarly work that is shared throughout the conference is important and timely, we are exploring alternate options to deliver the conference content by virtual means. We regret having to make this decision, but determined we must prioritize the health and safety of our conference attendees.

Border Consortium Workshop, Day 1 – Tijuana, MX

For Actionable Spatial Practice and Research
The US/Mexico border is home to unique spatial practices and resources, locally grounded but geographically distributed along its 1,954-mile length. This workshop provides a rare opportunity to condense this distributed content by convening a diversity of spatial practitioners, researchers, and educators in one space, in order to outline challenges and opportunities specific to the border context, to forge new partnerships, and develop shared knowledge and resources.

Finding Tijuana / San Diego, Tour

Organizers: Junichi Satoh, San Diego State U. Fee & Registration – Coming Soon!

When embarking on a project involving a particular site, architects, landscape architects, urban designers, as well as artists, and writers, begin with visually analyzing the site. Those analyses reveal, provoke, and challenge us with unseen faces of the site, providing us with a deeper sense of the place. In this workshop, we will tour the border city Tijuana / San Diego with architects, artists and social scientists working in this region, investigating different methods for visualizing and absorbing the sense of Place.

Passport / VISA by US & Mexican government has to be prepared by each participant.
