<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/emerging-practices-design-research-and-education-conf-oct-2014-shanghai-china/>
MAY 29, 2014
Dates: 13 October 2014

Deadline for submission of proposals: 16 June 2014
Part of the Shanghai Design Week (October 10-17, 2014)
In this new era, design must, and is currently being, redefined. Social and
economic changes impel designers to “think bigger.” For the design
discipline, the expanding roles and tools of design make it more possible
than ever to connect and to integrate multi-disciplinary knowledge within
the social and economic context, and to tackle real world problems.
Moreover, during the course of blurring the boundaries between professions
and developing new approaches, design explores the new frontier by dealing
with matters that center around goodness, happiness, and wellbeing of the
entire human community. Design is immersed in values that were not even
recognized a couple of decades ago, and the legitimization of design will
now be measured more on how it can enable us to survive on this planet.
Such emerging design practices and thoughts raise the bar for design
knowledge, in terms of its breadth, depth, and complexity. The areas where
they start to grow, especially the intersections between design
professions, approaches, and values, merit a closer examination.
Based on the above observation, Tongji University’s College of Design and
Innovation (Shanghai, China) hosted the first Design Research and Education
Conference titled “Emerging Practices” in 2012. This conference, since its
very beginning, is devoted to exploring the new practices, values, and
approaches arising from, or influential to, design and design education. It
is an arena in which these three concepts are explored by facilitating
heated discussions respectively or in an integrative manner. We sincerely
invite scholars, researchers, practitioners, educators, and
design students, interested in the possibilities the wide spectrum of
design offers, to participate and contribute their ideas. This conference
has been developed into a regular unit of Tongji Design Week, during which
a series of design research-and practice-based events are held in October
every year.
We are pleased to announce here that the third Emerging Practices: Design
Research and Education Conference will be held on October 13th, 2014. This
conference will be organized as an interactive form, providing discussions
that will be able to facilitate participants to further develop their
original ideas and proposals. Full papers will be completed after the
conference and will be compiled into the conference proceedings with an
ISBN number.

. Glimpses of architecture, instants, daily moments without filter: they
all, in different ways, tell the story of the life of the buildings that
make up a contemporary city.
[...] In the early hours of the morning, the commuters are vulnerable,
naked, and the pictures that I snap of them without being seen, reveal the
raw and melancholic mosaic of a city that I’ve called my home for twenty
years”
Antonio Monda – Author – “Inside the Naked City”
.
This Photo contest aims at selecting pictures linked to the thematic
relationship between the modern city and the people inhabiting it. Streets,
squares, buildings and borders…. are a daily part of people’s lives, they
become essential elements of who we are and of how we perceive a city.
.
The city is what represents us, what shows us for what we are, our mission
is to portray it realistically, for what it actually is. We live her, we
play with her, we leave her, we fall in love with her and then, day by day,
we underestimate her.
.
Let’s try to prove our love with a photo, making her feel what we feel for
her. Let’s undress her…leave her naked.
.
. COMPETITION
The participation is free; every architect, student and professional or
amateur photographer, without age limits can participate. It is possible to
participate only as individual and not in a group. To participate send a
mail to [log in to unmask]
<[log in to unmask]> with
a maximum of five pictures. Specify the author’s name and the surname, the
image’s title, the represented town’s name and a short description (ten
lines maximum) about the picture and the photographic project. The jury
will select the most representative pictures and the winner. Every selected
picture will be expose to a public exhibit in October at MEM – Mediateca
del Mediterraneo in Cagliari (Italy) and they can be published online. The
author will print the pictures considered appropriate and send to an
address that will be communicated at a later stage, while the promoters
will print the winning picture.

Call for Calls
Website: tourette-journal.tumblr.com
Deadline: 22 June 2014
Eligibility: Anybody is eligible. Authors may have a non-architectural
background, but the call must fuel innovative debate within contemporary
architectural discourse. Group submissions are allowed.
*TOURETTE_journal* looks at architecture as a loose and ever-changing
discipline, dealing with everything spatial directly and by way of digital
culture, shifting institutional ground, political and sociological issues,
representational modes, drones and gorillas. Tourette recognizes the power
of architectural discourse in the shaping of the discipline and the
profession, and wishes to provide an open platform for the proliferating of
ideas, debate and disagreement on issues related to the project of
architecture in contemporary culture.
*CALL: *WIDEOPEN: Call for Calls offers winning applicants the opportunity
to curate one issue of the journal and contribute to the
all-too-contemporary quest for relevancy within architectural discourse. At
a time of collective and disciplinary crisis, in which architecture is
looking outside of itself in order to redefine its boundaries, WIDEOPEN
looks for intriguing questions rather than easy answers, challenging doubts
rather than soothing certainties. WIDEOPEN challenges issues of
authoriality within the discipline by soliciting a collective effort and
foregrounding participation. The first issue of the journal, gathering the
collection of accepted calls, will read as a crowd sourced manifesto of
contemporary architecture. The whole structure of the journal will revolve
around this first issue, expanding it and implementing its scope.

the country. Hanoi has been inhabited since 3000 B.C. The city is nicknamed
the “city of lakes”. Halong Bay, the World Unessco Heritage Site, is one of
the most popular attractions and only 150km away from Hanoi. In 2012, the
New 7 Wonders Foundation officially named Halong Bay as one of new seven
natural wonders of the world. Robio 2014 promises to be a great event for
all participants, with excellent technical and social programs.

THE TENSIONS AND SYNERGIES OF AESTHETICS OF ‘DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY’
Paradoxically, while sustainability has become a keyword of contemporary
reorientations of design practices and theories, most research endeavors
have been devoted to improving efficiency or performance and few to
understanding the influences of these injunctions on culture on the one
hand, and design thinking on the other. How designers address the ever
increasing environmental expectations or even, how they maintain a creative
balance between ethics and aesthetics, remains largely unaddressed in
recent design theory. This session is focused on the questions regarding
the tensions between cultural and technical responses of design for
sustainability that cross the main disciplines concerned with design
thinking, be it at the scales of product, architecture, landscape, and
urban design. Do designers go beyond current injunctions of environmental
norms, certifications, and policies in order to maintain a creative balance
between ethics and aesthetics in their projects? Is the aesthetic tension
between form and content emerging as a new framework for designing more
sustainable environments?

Research Through Design conference (March 2015, Cambridge UK)
<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/research-through-design-conference-march-2015-cambridge-uk/>
MAY 10, 2014
Dates: 25-27 March 2015
Location: Cambridge, UK
Website: http://researchthroughdesign.org
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 4 July 2014
We are excited to invite submissions for the second bi-annual Research
Through Design (RTD) conference, to be held in Cambridge, UK, between the
25th and 27th of March 2015. RTD supports the dissemination of
practice-based research through a novel and experimental conference format,
comprising a curated exhibition of design research accompanied by
round-table discussions in “Rooms of Interest.” The exhibition will be used
as a platform for presenting and demonstrating research processes and
outputs, and for generating debate about the role of the design
practitioner and their work in a research context. Building on the success
of inaugural RTD conference held in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2013, the second
conference, RTD 2015, is to be hosted at Microsoft Research’s new European
lab in the centre of Cambridge, which promises to be an exciting venue for
exploring what design practice means in the early-21st Century.
RTD 2015 aims to foreground the materiality of design research, placing its
artefacts, processes, and practices centre stage. We invite submissions
from researcher-practitioners documenting research through design projects,
including descriptions of methods, processes and insights emerging from a
design inquiry and offering a departure point for rich discussion. Criteria
for selection are based on the authors¹ presentation of artefacts
(constituting research process or outcomes) as central to their submission;
the artefacts will be included in the curated exhibition, and papers should
accompany the exhibited artefact in a presentation of ‘research through
design’ at the conference.

Journal of Engineering Design: Special Issue on Interaction and Experience
Design (July 2014)

Deadline for notification of intent to submit: July 2014
Even in the development of the most technologically complex products,
systems and environments, it is now accepted that the role of the user
must remain firmly in focus. It is not enough to fulfil functional
requirements such as safety and performance, or to achieve technical
excellence in manufacture. The emergence of user-centred design has been
critical in shifting focus towards human needs in the design and
development process. Inclusive design in particular has set out the
importance of universal usability in the design of products, and this
fundamental requirement has been addressed in a previous special issue of
JED. Broader user-based issues, however, require deeper consideration of
the emotional reaction of individuals. The delivery of more personalized
usage scenarios encompasses aspects of interaction design, psychology,
culture and human factors to achieve satisfying, engaging and meaningful
user experiences.
The aim of this special issue is therefore to address the emotional needs
of users and their experiences in using products, processes and systems.
What indicators can be monitored to best understand response during product
use? Do requirements change through the ageing process with respect to
motivation, learning and dexterity? How can tasks and activities be
designed and sequenced to form compelling narratives of use? How can
factors such as culture, personality, experience be considered in
interface design? And can the tensions between tailored
individual requirements and product universality be resolved in unifying
design principles?
