The Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture invites submissions for its biennial Dissertation Colloquium, to be held March 28-29, 2025. Doctoral students from diverse institutional and disciplinary backgrounds, working on dissertation topics related to architecture and the built environment in the Americas, are invited to apply. The plural, Americas, is meant to expand the Center’s mission in two ways: first, to include comparative thought about building practices across the hemisphere and the world; and second, to suggest that there are several Americas within the United States. Students whose dissertations focus on other geographies will be equally considered if comparative perspectives with hemispheric contexts are made explicit. Cross-disciplinary approaches are especially encouraged.

Up to eight doctoral students from universities worldwide will be selected to present a 20-minute talk drawn from their doctoral research. The presentation should be based on a self-contained chapter or portion of the student’s dissertation research and should not be an overview or synthesis of the dissertation as a whole.

Requirements
Students must be enrolled in an accredited doctoral program and have completed their coursework plus at least one year of dissertation research. Submissions must include a complete draft of the intended presentation, together with illustrations. Submissions must also be accompanied by the following: a cover sheet specifying the student’s institutional affiliation, postal and e-mail addresses, and phone number; a 150-word abstract describing the paper’s relationship to the overall dissertation topic; and a brief statement from the student’s principal adviser certifying the applicant’s status (stage of completion) in the doctoral program. 

Submission
Please send electronic submissions (no larger than 3MB) in PDF format to [email protected], by Monday, December 16, 2024. Papers selected for presentation will be announced by the end of January, 2025.

The Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture is part of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. For a quarter of a century, the Buell Dissertation Colloquium has been a vibrant forum for new work by emerging scholars.

The Prem Jain Memorial Trust National Green Earth Challenge invites students of Engineering, Architecture, and Design colleges across India to tackle critical environmental challenges by developing innovative and sustainable design solutions for the built environment. With the mounting pressures of climate change, resource depletion, and urbanization, this challenge emphasizes the importance of a transdisciplinary, integrated approach. Participants will blend insights from various disciplines to create solutions that are not only eco-friendly but also socially inclusive.
The PJMT National Green Earth Challenge this year will focus on two distinct themes: 

• The Arch-Eng Challenge: The Arch-Eng theme encourages Architecture and Engineering students to create sustainable design solutions that are rooted in evidence and address issues related to the environment & people. The challenge emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach, integrating the environmental, social, and technological aspects while designing the solution. Participants should bring their innovative ideas and subject matter expertise to reinvent conventional practices or provide an alternate solution to enhance efficiency. 
• The Design Challenge: The Design category of the PJMT National Green Earth Challenge aims to promote sustainability by transforming available materials into innovative products that benefit humanity, communities, society, and the environment as a whole. Our planet faces escalating environmental challenges, from resource scarcity to mounting waste and pollution. Designers have a unique ability to shape how products are created, used, and discarded. In this challenge, we ask you to reimagine design processes through the lens of circularity—creating innovative solutions that keep materials in use for as long as possible, minimize waste, and regenerate natural systems. 

Who can participate? 

• The challenge is open to undergraduate students currently enrolled in architecture, engineering, or design programs. 
• You can participate individually or form teams of 2 or 3 members. Teams can consist of students from different batches or colleges, as long as all members meet the eligibility criteria. 
• Eligibility is restricted to Indian citizens. 

Stages of Evaluation 

• First Stage: A panel of experts in the field will review all applications and rank the top solutions from four zones – North, East, South, and West. 
• Second Stage: The top solutions will present their submissions online to a distinguished jury in each zone. Per zone, three prizes will be awarded at this stage: zonal winner, zonal first runner-up, and zonal second runner-up. 
• Third Stage: The zonal winners and first runners-up advance to the third stage, competing in Delhi for the National Prize. They will present their solutions while incorporating feedback from previous stages. A national winner and national runner-up will be announced at this stage. 

Awards: 

The following awards* are available for both categories: 

• National Round:  
  • Winner: ₹1,50,000

Introducing the Kinderspace: Architecture for Children’s Development competition / Edition #2, an architectural challenge dedicated to crafting innovative educational spaces that enhance early childhood learning. As young children navigate their formative years, the environment in which they learn plays a pivotal role in their cognitive, emotional, and social development. Traditional educational settings often do not fully cater to the dynamism of early childhood, potentially stifling creativity and exploration.

This competition seeks to transform kindergarten design by creating environments that are not only safe and functional but also stimulating and inclusive. Participants are encouraged to conceive spaces that foster learning, creativity, and community interaction, using sustainable and innovative design solutions that promote healthy development. 

With the flexibility to select a site within their home country, participants have the unique opportunity to integrate their designs within diverse community settings, potentially revitalizing underutilized areas. The Kinderspace #2 competition is more than just designing educational facilities; it’s about enriching communities and enhancing the educational landscapes to nurture the youngest members of our society. Participants are invited to think beyond conventional boundaries and develop spaces that inspire, educate, and connect.
