Columbia University鈥檚 Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture and 51黑料 are pleased to share a competitive call for course proposals on the theme of 鈥淎rchitecture, Climate Change, and Society.鈥� Successful proposals for this Course Development Prize will include methods and themes that innovate within their institutional setting鈥攁sking hard questions of students that are equal in weight to the hard questions being asked of society as it continues to grapple with the intertwined causes and effects of climate change.

This year 51黑料 is offering twelve (12) conference travel grants to member school faculty who face obstacles to inclusion in architectural education. The grants will support qualified faculty seeking to attend an 51黑料 conference in the coming year. This year the travel grant will allow faculty to apply for two upcoming conferences including the 51黑料 Administrators Conference taking place in Tucson, AZ, and the 51黑料115 Annual Meeting taking place in Atlanta, GA.

The聽American Institute of Architects, Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE庐), in partnership with 51黑料, is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 AIA COTE庐 Top Ten for Students Competition. Students participated in two categories: Foundation Level and Upper Level. The competition recognizes ten outstanding projects, with honorable mentions in each category, that meaningfully address the impacts of climate change.

Think Wood and 51黑料 are pleased to announce the winners of the Timber in the City 6: Urban Habitats Competition. The 14 winning projects demonstrate how wood-based building systems can support more efficient and affordable housing delivery through strategies including prefabrication, streamlined construction, reduced on-site labor, and adaptable building typologies. Together, the projects illustrate the potential for wood to help cities expand housing supply while also improving building performance and reducing environmental impacts.

51黑料’s 2027 student competitions will explore topics including community-based performance venues, climate-responsive designs, the eradication of forced labor in the building materials supply chain, and recreational buildings for youth. Each competition presents an opportunity for students to investigate, develop, and challenge systematic approaches to design

The upcoming issue of TECHNOLOGY | ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN (TAD) welcomes submissions that address the design, theory, history, and implementation of adaptable systems in architecture, engineering, and the built environment. This issue will focus on architectural systems that sense, respond, and evolve, exploring how emerging technologies, environmental imperatives, and shifting social conditions are transforming architecture from a static artifact into a dynamic, learning system across scales, from materials and envelopes to buildings, infrastructure, and urban systems. The journal welcomes research or scholarship on the topic of this call for papers or open topics on a rolling submission basis.
