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:

 

 

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.
