Submission deadline : December 30, 2015
community
We invite architects, landscape architects, interior designers, artists, designers, engineers, environmental scientists, economists, geographers, planners, poets, social scientists, and other allied disciplines to address water and spatial occupation: through texts, treatise, and words; through a range of scales, quantities and limits; and through cartography, geometry and proportion. We look forward to the unforeseen possibilities of disciplinary and inter-disciplinary engagement and exchange – to propose new forms for living, working and playing, predicated on a deeper understanding of the forces causally linked with nature and those linked with past and future notions of settlement – of living with water.
We have developed a matrix to privilege specific issues to address WATER+. These have been grouped under 4 thematic headings, namely:
design community ecology economy
A list of sub-themes are also provided – terms that offer a sense of agency relating to each of these themes. Symposium participants are asked to privilege one theme and then aggregate additional themes and sub-themes to serve as topic keywords. We are particularly interested in the aggregate association of these themes and the narrative potential to advance disciplinary and inter-disciplinary issues.
Submissions should be sent to abstracts@atmos.ca no later than December 30, 2015.
