IIT DRC 2010: Design Research Conference (May 2010,
Chicago)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/iit-drc-2010-design-research-conference-may-2010-chicago/>
Get ready for a cliche: this conference is about you. Really. And we’re
going to prove it.
THE COMPETITION
DRC speakers may be exceptional, but we know that most of you have just as
much to say. That’s why we’ve scheduled eight 5-minute lightning talks, and
all you have to do to enter is register for the conference and send us a
short (300-500 word) abstract of the story you want to tell.
We are looking for great design research stories. Maybe it’s about a new
tool you’re developing or something your company is doing to better
understand people, or it could be about a particularly interesting project.
Maybe you once did design research naked (see Luis Arnal’s talk from DRC
2008) or discovered a very strange alternative use for Vicks VapoRub (Stokes
Jones at DRC 2009). This is an opportunity to tell a great story to a great
audience.
The deadline for submissions is April 2, 2010, and we will announce winners
April 30th. Runners up will have their stories posted on the DRC website and
at the conference itself. Full information can be found
here<http://designresearchconference.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=50&Itemid=79>

The Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA) is a new organization
whose mission is to “enhance the competence and relevance of graduates from
Canadian Engineering schools through continuous improvement in engineering
education and design education.” This first annual CEEA conference will
integrate and grow on the previous efforts of the Canadian Design
Engineering Network (CDEN) and the Canadian Congress on Engineering
Education (C2E2). We strongly encourage the broad community of
engineering educators to join us – from Faculties of Engineering and Applied
Science, Arts & Science, Education, Libraries, Teaching and Learning
Centres, and Industry. Relevant student papers are also welcomed.

IJDesign: Special Issue on Designing for Aesthetics of Interaction
(March 2010)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/ijdesign-special-issue-on-designing-for-aesthetics-of-interaction-march-2010/>
*Full Paper Due:* 1 March 2010
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.

Architectural Objects: Discussing Spatial Form Across Art Histories
The ’spatial turn’ in the history of art has had a significant impact on the
understanding of artistic practice and the built environment, and the formal
and political complexities of space in a broader sense. This symposium
explores the role of architectural theory and practice within multiple art
histories, working across theoretical and aesthetic categories to redefine
notions of space and form. From Tatlin’s Monument to the Third
International, to the spatial environments of LeCorbusier and Robert Morris,
this interrelationship has challenged and reconfigured canonic divisions
between architecture, ornament, sculpture and performance. Within a global
perspective, the ‘architectural object’ can be traced throughout many
histories of cultural production, demonstrated within the sculpted interiors
of temples and mosques, the conceptual forms of the stupa or reliquary, or
the use of decorative ‘architectura’ within ornamental schemes.
