  • Footprint 32: Rethinking the Architecture of Dwelling in the Digital Age

    2021-10-05

    The Call for Contributions for Footprint 32 is out now. 

    Nelson Mota and Dirk van den Heuvel will be the editors of this issue, dedicated to ‘Rethinking the Architecture of Dwelling in the Digital Age.’ In this issue of Footprint we aim to rethink the architecture of dwelling in the digital age, taking into account the current attributes of the everlasting housing crisis, the realities of global economies, the disruptive techno-infrastructure supporting it, and the profoundly ecological precarity of contemporary housing policies influencing dwelling practices worldwide. This issue welcomes contributions that address localised practices and examples, combining theoretical reflection and speculation with design positions. Proposals for full articles (6000–8000 words) and review articles (2000–4000 words) will be evaluated by the editors in the form of abstracts (max. 1000 words for full articles, max. 500 words for review articles) submitted by 3 December 2021. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to develop their contributions by 6 March 2022.

    Full articles will go through a double-blind peer review process, while review articles will be evaluated by the editors. Footprint 32 will be published in the Spring of 2023.
