Study Architecture 
ProPEL Call for Submissions
The Reykjavik, 2023 Teacher Conference focuses on understanding and activating cosmopolitan citizenship in architectural education.
With this call, the joint conference of the North American and European associations for architectural education solicits scholarly presentations for the conference and proceedings. The conference addresses practitioners, academics, and citizens in general with an interest in exploring the present and future societal role of architectural education and invites participants to submit papers or posters reflecting on imagining architects’ societal roles as:
Call for Reviewers
Dissident Intellectuals
Dissident intellectuals ask critical questions of societal relevance and use the design process to reveal social and environmental injustices and expose them to a larger audience.
How can we make architectural education more political, radical, compassionate, and focused on the greater good? How can we use the learning environment to advance social and ecological justice and activism?
Ethical Professionals
Ethical professionals think in systems and understand architecture as the result of complex and multiple social, cultural, ecological, and economic relations that affect people and places in the present and future and in the near and global context.
How can architectural education explain the process of making architecture as an ecology of embedded relationships? How can we empower students to assume a responsibility that transcends the one between the architect and their client(s) and the specificity of the place?
Engaged Storytellers
Engaged storytellers use the design process as a narrative to reveal the voices of Others, build common understandings, form shared values, and imagine how we will live harmoniously together. Storytelling offers a supportive pedagogy that celebrates diversity of beings and thoughts by including different interests, perspectives, and experiences in the learning process.
How can architectural education empower students to develop common narratives that build common understanding of architecture and place?
Co-Creative Partners
Co-creative partners understand creativity as a collaborative journey and use the design process as an occasion to redefine the meaning and scope of architecture—and its education—to forge new ways of cooperating and producing collective experience. It looks to re-design the borders among the different academic disciplines and between academia and beyond to enhance communication and partnership.
How can we promote a pedagogy in architecture less focused on idols and icons and more prone to collaboration and systems?
Caregivers of the World
Caregivers of the world use architecture and its education–its knowledge, attitude, skills, and behaviors-–to imagine and act to improve the world.
How can schools of architecture promote an understanding that architecture is about how we live together and, therefore, that an architect has the responsibility as a cosmopolitan citizen to care for the Other and for the global community of humans and non-humans alike?
