Dates: 22-23 February 2018
Location: University of Arizona, Tucson
Website: AMPS
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 5 December 2017
Keynote: Jane Rendell, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL
Context:
Today, Donald Trump promises investment in infrastructure while simultaneously relaxing environmental regulations. China continues to urbanize and pollute while industrial cities in the West continue to decline and ‘go green’. Internationally, global cities of commerce can be surrounded by slums and in many cities housing is unaffordable as a place of living while it functions as a major form of capital investment.
Themes:
The built environment is a complex mix of physical and social questions. Engaging with it requires critique and multiple practices. To this end the conference welcomes specialists from across disciplines: architects, landscape designers, urban designers, planners, human geographers, sociologists and artists.
Publications:
The conference will lead to journal articles with Architecture_MPS, a proceedings publication with its own ISSN and book publications (see PARADE).
PARADE:
The conference is part of PARADE (Publication & Research in Art, Architectures, Design and Environments). PARADE brings together multiple publishers: Routledge Taylor&Francis, UCL Press, Intellect Books, Libri Publishing, UCL Press, Vernon Press and more.
