Smart Design Conference (Feb 2013, Sydney Australia)

Smart Design Conference 2013
Location: The University of Western Sydney (Parramatta South Campus)
Dates: 5-7 February 2013
Website: http://www.ntu.ac.uk/smartdesign.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 28 October 2012

The 2nd International Smart Design conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, identify challenges and directions, and share their R&D findings and experiences in the areas of design, materials and technology. The University of Western Sydney, in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University (UK), is proud to be hosting this conference in 2013.

Conference Scope and Theme
New materials and advanced technologies are critical to the economy of the twenty-first century. Good product designs merge materials, technology and hardware into a unified user experience in which technology recedes into the background. By focusing on functional gain, critical awareness and emotive connection, even multifaceted and complex technology can become an integral part of daily life. Researchers, designers and developers must understand how to appropriate the right technical and human knowledge to drive their innovations.

ICDHS 2012: Design frontiers: territories, concepts, technologies (Sep 2012, São Paulo Brazil)

Dates: 3-6 September 2012

Deadline for proposals: 29 Feb 2012

8th Conference of the International Committee for Design History and Design Studies

History marks territories that in some way or another are reflected in design. Since the first ICDHS conference, held in Barcelona in 1999, significant steps were taken to draw attention to the nature of design studies, practice and history in a wider world context. Parallel to that, the configuration of design landscapes has been significantly altered by education, technology and national state policies intended to promote local industries and sites by means of design.

The 8th ICDHS conference, “Design Frontiers: territories, concepts, technologies”, aims to discuss how design history and design studies may push the limits of design knowledge. The frontiers of design may be challenged by the exploration of new territories, by the establishment of new concepts, by the emergence of new technologies, as well as by rediscovering the past and by finding new ways of applying current wisdom.

 

29th Symp of the Intl Cmte for the History of Technology (Jul 2012, Barcelona)

Location: Barcelona, Spain
Dates: 10 – 14 July 2012
Deadline for proposals: 31 January 2012
Website: http://www.icohtec.org/annual-meeting/cfp-system/2012-barcelona/

Theme: Technology, the Arts and Industrial Culture

The 39th ICOHTEC Symposium will be held in Catalonia in mid-July next year. The main theme of the meeting will be Technology, the Arts and Industrial Culture. The aim is to examine technology in a multidisciplinary framework. The key questions are how technological development has interacted with design, architecture, the arts as well as popular culture and whether we can regard industrial culture as a melting pot of various influences. Reflecting on the theme of the previous conference we hope also to explore the role of consumers in this dialogue.

Special Issue of Interiors: Special Effects: Technology and the Interior Experience (July 2011)

INTERIORS: DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, CULTURE – Berg Publishers
Call for Articles – Special Issue (Vol. 3 Issue 1 – 2012)
SPECIAL EFFECTS: TECHNOLOGY AND THE INTERIOR EXPERIENCE
Deadline for summaries: 31 July 2011.

The editors Anne Massey (Kingston University) and John Turpin (Washington State University) invite contributions to the journal’s 2012 special issue SPECIAL EFFECTS: Technology and the Interior Experience. This issue will examine the impact of technology on the development of the interior and the accompanying human experience. As the 21st century unfolds, technological additions, integrations and interventions have become more pervasive altering our interface with
the built environment and greatly impacting our perception of the world around us: requiring us to face reality on the one hand, and yet allowing us to slip into immersive fantasies on the other. The divisions between outside and inside have become more porous, with virtual worlds and lived experience colliding and coalescing. Gadgets for the home; technology and sustainable living; shopping and atmosphere; projecting digital place and the development of gendered technologies are all areas that are open for analysis from an interior studies perspective.

The editors welcome submissions of articles addressing the topic of the interior and technology broadly defined. Submissions reflecting the latest research on the interior from historians, practitioners and theorists are particularly welcomed. Principal articles of 5,000 to 7,000 words, including notes and references, with 4-8 illustrations are invited, and should be sent as an attachment to interiors@bergpublishers.com by 31st July 2010.

Further details of the Journal, including Notes for Contributors, are available at http://www.bergjournals.com/interiors.

If you have any queries about the Journal or about submitting an article, please contact us on this email address: interiors@bergpublishers.com.
