UIA World Congress 2023 Copenhagen Science Track

It is with great enthusiasm that we invite everyone from ACSA to join the Peer Review Committee for the Science Track of the UIA World Congress 2023 Copenhagen: Sustainable Futures – Leave No One Behind, July 2-6, 2023.

The agenda of the congress is ambitious. Together, we want to promote, discuss, create and showcase architecture as a vital tool to achieve the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In the Science Track, we ask how architectural knowledge, through research and practice, can challenge the way architecture is performed, designed and realized. We do this in six panels.

We wish to expand the possibility of a transdisciplinary knowledge exchange and include voices that are not commonly part of academic and professional discourse therefore we are asking for submissions in four formats: Research paper, Visual essay, Narrative essay, and Argumentative essay. We believe that diverse experiences and knowledge are essential to articulate the particular agency architecture holds to contribute to achieving the 17 SDGs.

As a Peer Review Committee member you can accept to review papers for one or more of the following:
