Inflection Volume 02: Projection – Call for Papers and Collaborators

CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts due: 1 December 2014
Final submissions due: 1 April 2015

Inflection, the MSD’s student-run journal of architecture and the built environment, invites submissions to its second issue, Projection.

If an inflection point is a moment of transition, a projection is something more dynamic. In architecture and the built environment, 'projection' has a multitude of meanings that extend through the realms of spatiality, theory and technology.

Inflection welcomes work from students, academics and professionals in any mode of expression, and offers an optional double-blind peer review process for academic pieces.

University emails during the summer period

Please continue to check your University email account during the mid-year break to make sure you do not miss any critical information from the University.
