>
> Papers are invited for Design Ecologies
> (http://bit.ly/designecologies
> ), a new international and trans-disciplinary peer-reviewed journal that
> aims to foreground the inextricable connection between human
> communication and ecological accountability in architectural design. This
> burgeoning field has the potential to become a far-reaching discipline,
> forging a community that crosses over into and out of architecture,
> environment, interaction, urbanism, and performing arts and
> communication.
>
> Through original design exploration ranging in scale, the journal will
> proffer a critical vision towards the built environment, and promote
> ecological transitions within local and global contexts. It will
> challenge the everyday emerging practices of architectural design by
> offering a trans-disciplinary framework for design production.
>
>
> We invite submissions of articles from any discipline. These should
> explore a developing/recently completed project, have a strong critical
> focus and seek to apply hitherto unexplored theoretical approaches to the
> burgeoning field of design ecologies. The four areas of interest
> include:
> 1. Ecological design visions.
> 2. Notational design visions about the use and application of notation as
> a means of communication.
> 3. Instructional design visions.
> 4. Aesthetical design visions on aesthetics/about aesthetics.
>
>
> We also welcome case studies, project profiles, practice profiles and
> short reviews on publications and exhibits of 1–5 pages in length.
> Burgeoning practices (submissions that deal with the processes and
> theories of design ecologies) are also encouraged.
>
>
> Submissions
> Submissions are welcome from both scholars and practitioners.
> Contributions may be between 3,000 and 7,000 words and should be
> accessible to the non-specialist reader. Papers must be submitted in
> English. Please refer to the Intellect style guide
> (http://bit.ly/IntellectSG)
> before submitting an article to this journal.
>
> Please send all submissions to
> (info /at/ eniatype.com), and specify the
> nature of the article, e.g. ecological, notational, review exhibition
> etc., in the subject heading of the email. Deadline for submissions:
> Sunday 22nd August.
