Call For Papers
Conference Theme: Known and Unknown Territories
The theme of the NCBDS38 conference is Known and Unknown Territories. The conference focuses on ways in which known territories and unknown territories are contemplated, explored, and defined in the beginning design education and spatial thinking. The question of known and unknown Territories is intended to guide beginning design students to a new place of understanding rather than to a location. How does this question manifest in pedagogical processes? Didactic, haptic, and technological inventions are in constant flux and evolution. Reconsiderations of how we approach the built environment and the systems we interact with are emerging from the Pandemic and into a space in which we must reconsider how and where we design. The conference organizers welcome educators and students to create paper submissions from the fields of art, architecture, design, and landscape architecture within five areas or perspectives:
- Known and Unknown Territories – Terra Incognito
- Known and Unknown Territories – Otherness
- Known and Unknown Territories – Future and Past
- Known and Unknown Territories – Technology
- Known and Unknown Territories – Speculation
