Please share the call. Thanks Publishers: UCL Press, Taylor&Francis Universities: University of Arizona, Feb 2018; University of East London, June 2018 Call 1. CRITICAL PRACTICE IN AN AGE OF COMPLEXITY Place: University of Arizona, USA Dates: 22 – 23 February 2018 Abstracts: 05 Dec 2017 http://architecturemps.com/arizona/ - Context: The complexity and change of cities and society today… Donald Trump promises investment in infrastructure, China continues to urbanize and pollute, global cities are surrounded by slums and housing is unaffordable and simultaneously a form of capital investment. How should artists, designers and social and cultural theorists respond to this? Themes: The issues of living in cities, towns and communities are more than just questions of the buildings we construct; the houses we make or the roads we build. The built environment is more than the buildings we construct; the houses we make or the roads we build. It reflects and informs social development, community conflict and economic opportunity, demographic disparity and more. This conference reflects this by opening its call to multiple strands and proposals. Disciplines: Art, cultural theory, sociology, human geography, cultural studies, architecture, urban planning and more. Publications: Publications are coordinated via PARADE (Publication & Research in Art, Architectures, Design and Environments). It involves AMPS, Routledge Taylor&Francis, UCL Press, Intellect Books, Libri Publishing, UCL Press, Vernon Press and more. http://architecturemps.com/arizona/ - Call 2.
