a great source and a great article in the designobserver.com:
“PLACES is pleased to announce a call for work in response to climate change.
Reflecting our conviction that the design professions have a major role to play in solving the unprecedented environmental and social changes of the 21st century, Places seeks submissions of design and research in response to climate change. This is a big topic—a new and fertile field for design—and we are deliberately defining it broadly. Our approach is inclusive: we are interested in fully realized projects and promising ideas, in a diversity of type and approach. Work can range in scale, from the region and the city to the individual project and construction detail. Project can be built or unbuilt, implemented or proposed. Articles might be rooted in one or more disciplines and professions, including architecture, building science, civic governance, ecology, geography, landscape architecture, science and technology studies, transportation planning, urban design. It might take the form of building, landscape or urban design, of innovative policy, community activism or interactive media, or it might be a productive mix of different approaches.”
