CALL FOR CASE STUDIES FROM ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONALS
Architects in practice are invited to submit case study proposals for the 2025 ACSA/AIA Intersections Research Conference to be convened in Austin, Texas in January 2025. Abstracts for case study projects are due on September 4, 2024. Case study submissions should summarize the motivation, context and objective of the relevant architectural project or material research and development; highlight the most salient issues, challenges or dilemmas faced by the project team in their particular context; share explored pathways to meet these challenges; provide relevant frameworks, data, analysis, insights and findings; and suggest transferable knowledge.
Innovative approaches are welcome at all scales, from single unit to master plan, as we recognize even the smallest unit of private space to inherently be an urban problem. Contributions should relate to one of the tracks listed below or address potential overlaps between no more than two.
Housing for Equitable Communities
Housing as Radical Solution
Housing as Pedagogy
Housing for Ecology
Housing for Well-being + Health
Call for submissions
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) are pleased to continue the conference partnership dedicated to the intersection of education, research and practice. The 2025 ACSA/AIA Intersections Research Conference explores housing as a process, a product, and a place. This conference will speculate on, advocate for, operate within, and struggle with new housing paradigms. The conference will take place January 9-11, 2025 in Austin, Texas.
At this in-person conference, attendees will gain an increased awareness of housing research happening in both academia and design practice. The conference will create opportunities for new partnerships, sources of funding, collaborations and critical observations. It will be a chance for both established researchers as well as those looking to enhance their research capabilities, with sessions, breakouts, workshops and networking events.
