ACSA and the Association of Architecture Schools of Australasia (AASA) are pleased to announce the 2026 International Conference: Planetary Practice. This conference will examine how architecture can operate as a planetary practice鈥攖hrough design, through research, through teaching,聽and through the cultivation of new forms of knowledge and collaboration.

Educators, Practitioners, Researchers, Artists, Designers, and Students are invited to submit work that investigates large-scale challenges through innovative design approaches, research methodologies, digital tools, and alternative epistemologies. Submissions are due by October 1, 2025.

The 114th 性福啪 Annual Meeting will emphasize the transformative potential of design thinking, convening educators, practitioners, and students into conversations about architectural pedagogy and production. The architectural history of Chicago will add to the context through tours and connections with local schools and firms.

The Annual Meeting Committee invites submissions in three categories: Full Papers, Design Projects, and Short Papers. Proposals for special sessions are also encouraged to enrich and expand the conference. Submissions are due by September 17, 2025.

Every year, ACSA honors architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service. The award-winning professors inspire and challenge students, contribute to the profession鈥檚 knowledge base, and extend their work beyond the borders of academia into practice and the public sector.聽

In an era marked by increasing complexity, conflict, and rapid change, educators must act as navigators鈥攖o pursue new pathways and possibilities in our discipline and to instill navigational skills in our students. This conference examines shifting social, political, and institutional landscapes as sites for reorientation, transformation, and reconciliation at all scales, and across pedagogy and practice. The 2025 性福啪 Summer Conference supports knowledge-sharing across the authors and presenters accepted into the 2025 性福啪/EAAE Teachers Conference, and welcomes additional participants to engage in open discussion to collectively navigate the challenges ahead.

The in-person conference, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will take place on August 7鈥�8, 2025, followed by virtual sessions via Zoom on September 11鈥�12, 2025.

Faced with the challenge of an increasingly complex economic, environmental, and political reality, how might educating civic-minded architects help inspire and guide the profession? How do architecture schools foster a culture of collaboration with community and city leaders? How can design research inform the evolving role that civic-minded architects can play? Beyond the design studio, what role should the teaching of history, theory, professional practice, policy, technology, and other disciplines play in educating civic architects?

This issue of JAE seeks contributions that explore the full range of expressions of civic architecture and community design鈥攑ast, present, and future. As well as research and exemplary projects by architects, landscape architects, urbanists, and students who have explored these questions. Contributions documenting educational efforts are most welcome.

This issue of聽TAD invites inquiry into soil not as backdrop but as an active thread in shaping form, structure, living habitat, and community. Soil is neither inert nor empty. It is a charged and living substrate that, materially and figuratively, underpins architecture. It is where gravitation meets structure, extraction meets economy, and permanence meets decay. Soil is a medium of transformation: chemical, cultural, and political. Soil supports and resists鈥搒haped by forces of compaction and combustion, microbial life, and industrial processes.聽The editors strongly encourage submissions highlighting contributions from those traditionally excluded or underrepresented in the field. Submissions may choose to address the focus area identified in this call for papers, but are not required to do so.
