call for proposals - Annual Design Research Conference (ADR18)

This is a call for proposals to be included in the Annual Design Research Conference for 2018 (ADR18). The Conference is devoted to design research in built environment fields (architecture, landscape, interior, and urban design), it will consist of plenary sessions and a curated exhibition for design works.

ADR18 will be held at the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney, in association with the Tin Sheds Gallery on 27-28 September 2018. Our Keynote speakers at this conference will be Momoyo Kaijima from Atelier Bow-wow and Leon van Schaik AO from RMIT.

Proposals to present design research at ADR18 are welcomed from academics, researchers, students and practitioners. Proposals should specifically relate to built environment design research and may respond to one or more indicative thematic sessions of ADR18, including (but not limited to): Industry and Applied Design Research; Scholarship and Theory of Design Research; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Design Research; Digital and Automated Fabrication in Design Research, Design Research Education and Critical Spatial Practice.

Initial proposals for plenary session papers should take the form of a 300 word abstract, and

proposed works for the curated exhibition: a 300 word statement of research significance and 2 images of work to be exhibited (with indication of medium/dimensions of work and image credits). Please note: images may be used for publicity purposes; it will be the exhibitor’s responsibility to create the exhibited works and transport the exhibited items to and from the University of Sydney.

All proposals will be blind peer-reviewed, and if successful invited for inclusion in ADR18 and accompanying handbook. A final selection of exemplary texts and graphic materials from the conference will be reviewed and invited for inclusion in an edited academic publication.
