Deadline for Abstract Submission: September 15, 2021
“Divergence in Architectural Research” is an international doctorate symposium organized by the ConCave Ph.D. Student Group in the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Architecture. The Ph.D. Symposium seeks to create a platform for sharing current research in architecture, with invited scholars and other doctoral students from architecture and allied fields.
The symposium will act as a nexus for connections with established scholars and fellow researchers. Contributing researchers should be PhD students whose work emerges from the architectural domain. The Symposium will take place April 7-8, 2022, on the campus of Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia.
The symposium will engage the divergent aspects of architectural research as it is taking place today across epistemological frameworks, highlighting the emerging intersections in the topics and their descriptions mentioned here. If your research topic is not a good fit for one of these six panel topics, you can submit your abstract to the open panel.
We invite papers by doctoral students to present their ongoing research and hope to expand the conversation around the state of agency in architecture research today. Please note that the Ph.D. symposium is open only to the current doctoral students and recent graduates in the last two years. Click here for the Submission Form and direct any inquiries to concave@design.gatech.edu.
Applicant will go through a two-stage selection process. Firstly, the submitted abstracts (up to 500 words) will undergo a double blind-peer-review. Secondly, those whose abstracts are accepted can submit their full paper for the second peer-review. The final acceptance will be announced by February 2022.
