October 12, 2018Call for Proposals: 50th Annual Conference of the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA)
This conference will explore how environments at all scales can be designed in support of a more sustainable world. While cities are contributors to the causes of climate change and other environmental problems, the urban setting will be the proving ground for many of the solutions that address environmental, economic, social and behavioral issues across the globe. Environmental design research is integral to shaping urban design and changing environmental behavior at the global scale. This interdisciplinary call invites proposals from researchers and practitioners to share their knowledge of best practices that address the critical mission of urban sustainability, encompassing built and natural environments for which long- and short-term. EDRA encourages submissions on the following topic areas:
- Urban Sustainability, Equity and Globalization
- Global Climate Change: Attitudes and Behavior
- Green and Blue Infrastructure, Natural Resources and Urban Ecology
- Participatory and Evidence-Based Strategies for Sustainable Design
- Environmental Design Research: Advocacy Through Policy and Design
- Place-making: Personal, Social and Cultural Meanings of Space

Social Science and Architecture
The Social Science and Architecture Committee was formed in January 2016 with the goal of bringing together professionals and students from architecture, social science, and other fields to discuss, collaborate, and facilitate programs for the community. The meeting offers a place to exchange ideas related to social science and architecture, address topics of interest to the attendees, and to plan AIA panels on related topics. The Committee meets monthly and is open to anyone who would like to attend. Meetings are held the fourth Friday of every month from 8:30-10:00 AM.
