Session at the 2015 UAAC Conference: Design Critique in the Age of Environmentalism: The Plurality of Perspectives on Criticism (Nov 2015, Halifax Canada)

Dates: 5-7 November 2015
Location: NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Website: http://www.uaac-aauc.com/en/conference
Deadline for submissions: 20 July 2015

How is the growing imperative of environmentalism changing the way public places and spaces are perceived, described, and judged today? In the 1960s, the drive towards holistic approaches of public and individual human settlements gave rise to the idea of environmental design as a means to transcend the boundaries between various design disciplines (architecture, landscape, urban). This form of environmentalism started to shift in the 1970s towards an ecological ideology characterized by the search for technical efficiency. At the turn of this century, the technological emphasis for efficiency systematically developed in the 1980s and 1990s, started to reveal its limitations, facing a problematic integration of cultural dimensions and imposing a contradictory opposition between ethics and aesthetics, between form and content. This approach to design may be compromising the very idea of an integrated environmentalism in various realms of knowledge and action. Choices regarding materials, structures, forms, or even processes, are often incommensurable as they present conflicting evaluations. Public spaces and places are being transformed today, where ecological performance is often favoured over spatial and formal expression. The aim of this session is to understand how the imperative of environmentalism is influencing the way in which we evaluate and critique design today.
