Congratulations, Caitlin! 9th Annual Landscape, Space, and Place Conference
Indiana University - Bloomington, Indiana February 26-28th 2015 Indiana University's Department of Geography and Landscape Studies Program are hosting their 9th annual Landscape, Space, and Place (LSP) Conference. To reflect the increased focus on spatiality as a vital lens, graduate students and faculty from all disciplines are invited to participate by presenting work that foregrounds issues of landscape, space, and place on a multitude of subjects. In addition to paper sessions, there will also be a landscape architecture poster and model session. Via these various formats, we strive to create a dynamic, interactive atmosphere in which to foster discussion and academic growth. We invite performances, creative/interactive presentations, etc. Abstracts of approximately 250 words are due January 18, 2015. Please email questions and abstract submissions to [email protected]. Architect magazine featured BLC Co-Coordinator Anna Andrzejewski's recent presentation on surveillance and prison design in an article about the David Dillon Symposium, "Building the Just City," in Dallas, TX:
“As much as we laud surveillance, now by means of cameras and computers as much as built mechanisms,” Andrzejewski said, “it cannot and will not assure complete order, even as it continues to serve as a prominent sign of it.” Read more here: http://www.architectmagazine.com/urban-design/lamster-hosts-dillon-symposium-dallas_o.aspx Congratulations, Anna! We encourage BLC students to submit their work for consideration at the 2015 Vernacular Architecture Forum conference which will be held in Chicago June 3rd-7th.
"Papers for VAF Chicago may address vernacular and everyday buildings, sites, or cultural landscapes worldwide. Submissions on all vernacular topics are welcome, and for the 2015 Conference, we encourage papers that ask questions of the built environment andengineered ecologies for which Chicago represents a seminal model or serves as case study for trends occurring nationally and internationally. Trends include those in the architectural and building trades, in industrial and commercial sectors and for the workers in those arenas, in urban and city planning, and in models for societal restructuring that include urban renewal, relocation, and public housing." http://www.vafchicago.org/welcome/call-for-papers-4/ During his visit, UVA Commonwealth Professor of Architectural History Richard Guy Wilson encouraged BLC students to apply for the Victorian Society in America's summer schools in London, Newport, and Chicago. Applications for the AIA accredited programs are due on March 1st, 2015. See below for more details:
