Call for Papers: Decolonization and Andean Art

The Instagram photography competition for the XIV Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (XIV BEAU) is now open. The event is curated by José Morales and Sara de Giles, with Jesús Marina and Elena Morón serving as directors of photography activities.

The FABRICATE Call for Works is open and the organisers are looking for innovative projects from research and industry to be a part of this international event.
Call Deadline: 3rd July 2026
Call Details: https://www.fabricate.org/
Submission Guidelines: https://www.fabricate.org/submission-guidelines-2027/
Submission Stage 1 consists of an Abstract of 600-800 words with 10-15 embedded images that declare and clearly demonstrate the specific research innovation as built, and in the development of being built. High quality images of design and fabrication processes should predominate the selection, with 3-4 images of the work as complete.
The 2027 Edition focuses on rethinking extractive models of architectural production, learning from local contexts, and empowering more diverse communities of designers, makers, and builders. FABRICATE is looking for work that engages meaningfully with material, social, and environmental questions across diverse scales and geographies.
Since its inception FABRICATE has played an important role in promoting innovative work at the intersection of design and making—bringing forward projects that challenge how architecture is conceived, materialized, and constructed. It has been a platform not only for technological advancement, but also for new ways of thinking about practice, materiality, and impact. While FABRICATE has often been associated with advanced manufacturing and robotics, this year FABRICATE is also interested in broad critical shifts in the field.
The event is co-chaired by Areti Markopoulou (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) and Xavier De Kestelier (Hassell) aiming to strengthen ties between industry and research.
FABRICATE 2027 will take place on the 14th and 15th May, 2027, in Barcelona, Spain, organised by IAAC and hosted by COAC (Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya).
Any updates regarding the calls and tickets will be posted on the FABRICATE website and Instagram Channel (@fabricateconference).

Van Alen Institute has spent more than 130 years at the intersection of design ambition, education, and civic life. Today, we are a driving force behind community-led urban design, which believes that local knowledge and care enrich the design process. Our archive—comprising thousands of competition boards, jury records, photographs, and correspondences—is one of the most significant collections of American architectural history in existence. Much of it has never been seen by the public.

Architects, designers, and multidisciplinary teams across Europe: this is your opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable construction.

At revalu, we are launching an open call for innovative projects that prioritize lower-carbon architecture through the use of local, bio-based, and environmentally responsible materials.

Aedes Graduate Admissions Intensive

For this issue of Dearq, "Tectonic Matter," we are seeking contributions that treat tectonics not as a style or a fetish of detail, but as a rigorous field in which architecture's material realities, its sourcing, craft, labor, structural systems, fabrication protocols, and performance criteria become inseparable from how space is perceived, inhabited, and understood.
Who can submit: We welcome submissions from architects, historians, theorists, engineers, educators, and researchers. Interdisciplinary and context-specific approaches are encouraged, provided they remain anchored in tectonics as a conceptual and practical field of architectural invention.
The editors invite submissions of research articles, case studies, visual essays, and projects will be accepted, provided they are original and unpublished and comply with the journal's editorial policy.
