Although the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) requires that
students understand historical traditions and global culture, it does not
mandate the method of instruction. Still, many schools offer a suite of
architectural history lectures that are often perceived as distinct from
studio topics. The relegation of history, theory and criticism to a
supporting role is furthered by the outdated notion that history courses
serve primarily to provide a buffet of precedent studies focusing on form
and technique. Such an approach, born of historical methods and pedagogies
that emphasize stylistic and typological diagnosis, fails to recognize the
depth of historical inquiry, changes within the discipline of history itself
and increasingly diverse design pedagogies. Is it possible to propose more
complex relationships between history and design?

HCI at the End of Life: Understanding Death, Dying, and the Digital
A workshop to be held at CHI 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia on April 10, 2010.
Workshop website:
http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mikem/hcieol/<http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/%7Emikem/hcieol/>
Submission deadline: January 6, 2010
As computing increasingly pervades all aspects of our daily lives, it is
becoming important to consider the implications of technology at the end of
the lifespan. This workshop offers an opportunity to explore the ways in
which computing intersects with issues of mortality, dying, and death.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: digital memorials; social
networking sites and the deceased; examinations of cultural, social, legal
or technological practice surrounding dying or death; professional and
lay-person perspectives; and the design of technological artifacts which
engage these issues in new (and possibly provocative) ways. This workshop
therefore intends to address how death
is managed, marked and reacted to in the digital/technological age.

Now that the world of HCI has united with the world of product design, and
computers are no longer merely a means for doing our jobs but also an
integral part of our lives, one might question the appropriateness of
functionality and efficiency as the main guiding principles for design. The
spectrum of efficiency, productivity and, in general, “getting things done”
has been enriched by other values, such as those represented by curiosity,
playfulness, intimacy and creativity. User experience and the aesthetics of
that experience are becoming increasingly paramount.

13th Annual Subtle Technologies Festival Explores Sustainability, June 3-6,
2010.
Deadline for submissions: January 9, 2010
Festival Dates: University of Toronto June 3 – 6 2010
It will be nearly half a century since Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring”,
just over five since Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”, and less than three
years since Anya Hindmarch’s “I’m not a plastic bag” eco-bag hit the
shelves. The grassroots have taken hold fostering mainstream fashion and a
green life style. This may be a victory of ideology, yet at the same time,
has matured into a new social norm that suspiciously smells of capitalism.
The replacements are still a chain in consumption. Ecological compact
fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, and biofuels have an impact beyond
ethanol production. If sustainability is narrowly defined as a closed
system that produces what it consumes, by all means, the boundary conditions
leave us hanging,
looking for more. What can this more, be?

Call for Journal Contributions: What is textile design research?
Deadline for submissions: 22nd January 2010
Research for textiles is broad and far reaching. Historical, theoretical,
technical, scientific, commercial and aesthetic strands interweave to create
a complex and interdisciplinary field of investigation and invention. The
intention of the first call for submissions to DUCK is to explore the nature
and significance of current Textile Design research and establish a platform
for
future discourse.

Spaces of History / Histories of Space: Emerging Approaches to the Study of
the Built Environment
A Conference at the University of California at Berkeley on April 30, 2010
Deadline for submission: January 8, 2010
Looking to survey and assess new approaches and analytical tools for
studying the history of built spaces across a variety of scales and
geographies, this conference will explore a range of questions pertaining to
theory, methodology and pedagogy. How has the “spatial turn” in the
humanities and social sciences transformed the ways in which history of the
built environment is theorized and researched? How should we study a
historical moment when certain types of evidence redominate?

Nov 29 – Dec 1, 2010, at the Kobe International Conference Centre. Website:
http://www.org.kobe-u.ac.jp/icdc2010/.
Design Creativity is an important and interesting topic of study in design.
Since it involves the profound and essential nature of design, design
creativity is expected to be a key in not only addressing the social
problems that we are facing, but also producing an innate appreciation for
beauty and happiness in our minds. In order to elucidate the nature of
design creativity, the following issues are being studied: cognitive
processes underlying design creativity, computational models of design
creativity, and practical processes to incorporate the human and social
dimensions.

Edit<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=53>
Craft Research is the first peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the
development and advance of contemporary craft practice and theory through
research. The aim of Craft Research is to portray and build the crafts as a
vital and viable modern discipline that offers a vision for the future and
for the sustainable development of human social, economical and ecological
issues. This role of craft is rooted in its flexible nature as a conduit
from design at one end to art at the other. It gains its strength from its
at times experimental, at times developmental nature, which enables craft to
explore and challenge technology, to question and develop cultural and
social practices, and to interrogate philosophical and human values. The
final date for submissions for the first issue is Friday 15 January 2010.For
guidance notes, for submissions, or further information please contact the
editors.Please find all details on the website:

Berg Publishers are pleased to announce the launch of a new academic
journal, *Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture* in 2010. The editors,
Anne Massey, (MIRC, Kingston University) and John Turpin (Washington State
University) welcome contributions that consider the spaces and places within
built structures. Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture will bring
together the best critical work on the analysis of all types of spaces.
Whether homes, offices, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, churches and
restaurants, interiors are all embedded with meaning, both consciously and
subconsciously, and evince particular, multi-sensory and psychological
responses. The Journal will investigate the complexities of the interior
environment’s history, orchestration and composition, and its impact on the
inhabitant from a trans-disciplinary perspective. Submissions should be
sent by 4 January 2010. Read More
