01 Jun 2026 CFP: Thresholds 55: Property

MIT Department of Architecture Journal Thresholds 55: Property

Property: a thing, often material, that is possessed. Property: an aspect or attribute of that thing.

While seemingly concrete, the concept of property is frequently fragmentary, contingent, and ephemeral, premised in an array of theoretical descriptions. Property is constructed through social relationships and defined through reciprocal accord. These social dynamics highlight the proximity of property to power through its delimitation of rights to access, possession, and exclusion. Ideas of property have been foundational in both western and non-western frameworks of culture and law, implicated in understandings of individual autonomy, rights, and the economy. From the enclosure of land to its representation in painting, from waqf funds to development mechanisms to environmental protection, to labor, protest, and repatriation, imaginaries of property have shaped art and architecture through history and across geographies. Thresholds 55 invites scholarly writing, criticism, and artistic interventions that interrogate these interactions.

02 Jun 2026 Funding: RIBA Research Fund

07 Jun 2026 Residency: Goethe Institut - FILE NOT FOUND

Archives, as repositories of cultural memory and knowledge, are increasingly under pressure in many countries due to populist and extremist policies. Content that challenges the narratives of these policies has been censored, reinterpreted, or deleted in some regions.

FILE NOT FOUND fosters a dialogue between various international archives, some already affected by this pressure, others operating in a grey area, and some that still feel safe.

As Germany’s international cultural institute, the Goethe‑Institut is committed to protecting cultural expression and enabling open, democratic discourse. FILE NOT FOUND reflects this mission by bringing together archives from different contexts to share experiences, raise awareness of threats to cultural memory, and jointly strengthen their resilience.

07 Jun 2026 Unknown Person/Kafedra Gallery - call for work for city noise

ZiMMT, Leipzig, Germany. Exhibition in July 2026

The contemporary city is no longer a stable architectural structure. It functions as a media interface where propaganda, advertising, wars, algorithms, control systems, and protest interventions are intertwined with screens, sound signals, and personal media environments. ​ In this open call, we are expecting works that not only reflect the overload of the contemporary city, but also make it tangible on an aesthetic and emotional level, and transform it through artistic means. ​ We are looking for your urban findings in the form of text, sound, and photo stories, as well as art video and documentary short video.

21 Jun 2026 CFP: Model and the Reactor: AI as and against Environmental Media

Abstracts accepted in EN, ES, PT

This special issue questions the imbrication of AI and digital sovereignty at work in new articulations of technological nationalism (Charland, 1986; Couture & Toupin, 2019; Grohmann & Costa Barbosa, 2025; Medina, 2011). Theories of the digital sublime and charismatic technologies have long been used to legitimate technologies as social blueprints (Ames, 2019; Carey & Quirk, 1970; Mosco, 2004), but AI arrives at a moment of critical duress for social epistemologies usually found in journalism seem incapable or unable to counter the sociotechnical futures produced by big AI (Bareis & Katzenbach, 2021; Dandurand et al., 2023; Liebig et al., 2024; Valderrama Barragán et al., 2025). We encourage contributions that unite fragmented scholarship as a counterpoint to Big Tech’s global, competitive cyberphysical project (Lai et al., 2026; Salamanca, 2025).

21 Jun 2026 CFP: Cornell Journal of Architecture Issue 14 - Spare

The theme for the next issue of the Cornell Journal of Architecture is “Spare.” Spare exists in anticipation: of use, of need, of loss, of return. Something fails. Someone arrives. Something secondary becomes essential. A spare points to the unexpected possibilities within the present. In changing conditions, the spare—all but nominal—supersedes the original.

26 Jun 2026 CFP: Untold Tales: Women Pioneers in British and Irish architectural history

There have been a growing number of studies of female architects over the past twenty years but almost no accounts of female architectural historians. One exception is Dana Arnold’s edited collection Women and Architectural History: The Monstrous Regiment Then and Now (2025) which involved women operating from the 1970s onwards. This symposium looks back further to the earliest generations involved in the writing and promotion of architectural history in a wide range of spheres. We are interested in women who were involved in the subject as academics, curators, journalists, photographers, writers and in the conservation and heritage spheres from the nineteenth century onwards.

26 Jun 2026 Edited book: METHODOLOGIES FOR ACTION: A Collective Toolkit for Design Futures

27 Jun 2026 CFP: LA+ ‘FIELD’

The word field conveys the idea of a space or place—physical, conceptual, or operational—within which relationships, forces, or activities occur. Field refers equally to perception—such as the fields of vision and sensing through which landscapes are seen and experienced—and to action, as in fieldwork from which observations build knowledge and/or which grounds theory in lived, material conditions. In scientific and cultural contexts, a field describes the networks of forces, relations, and influences operating across space and time. In educational and professional contexts, it defines what constitutes the methods and domain of a discipline. Together, these meanings establish the field as a dynamic interplay between thinking, knowing, making, and doing.

LA+ FIELD invites submissions that explore the concept of field in landscape architecture. We seek critical, theoretical, and practice-based perspectives organized around three interrelated categories: Field as Discipline, Field of Perception, and Field Work. Field as Discipline might examine landscape architecture’s intellectual, professional, and institutional terrain, including its boundaries, methods, histories, and evolution in response to environmental and social changes. Topics in Field of Perception may elucidate specific methods and techniques that shape the ways in which landscapes are sensed, experienced, interpreted, and represented. Field Work could engage material practices of observation, measurement, and intervention, including more-than-human studies, site-based experiments, and questions about relations, labor, and care. Priority will be given to abstracts that explore how two or more of these domains intersect and how they affirm or expand contemporary understandings of landscape architecture.

29 Jun 2026 Stanley Picker Fellowship in Art & Design

30 Jun 2026 Rotlicht Festival for Analog Photography - Anthropocene: Hybrid Realities

NB: Submission fee applies (€20)

Our main exhibition in 2026 will again take place on the impressive premises of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. On over 1300 m2 we will open the festival with our 20 winners from the Open Call 2026.

The theme of this year’s festival is »Anthropocene: Hybrid Realities« and your submission should be at least marginally related to this theme.

Anthropocene: Hybrid Realities

The Anthropocene – often described as the age of humankind – names an epoch in which human activity decisively shapes the Earth’s ecological and geological systems. Yet this narrative of dominance may itself be a construct.Ideas of control, progress, and technological mastery stand in tension with a world increasingly defined by instability, complexity, and fragility.

Analog photography inherently challenges this paradigm of control. It is grounded in light, chemistry, time, and contingency. Imperfection, material presence, and process are not flaws but fundamental qualities of the medium. With the theme Anthropocene: Hybrid Realities, the festival invites artists to critically and poetically explore the relationship between human, nature, and image — between intervention and dissolution, influence and vulnerability, construction and decay.

Humanity consumes resources as if they were unlimited, reshapes landscapes, replaces ecosystems with artificial environments, and is increasingly described as a geological force in its own right. How can photography respond to this condition? What hybrid realities emerge between the natural and the constructed, the organic and the synthetic, the real and the staged?

We welcome submissions that engage with these tensions and expand the discourse through experimental, critical, and process-oriented approaches in analog photography.
