Abstracts due: 25 November 2015
Full submissions due: 30 March 2016

In an age of globalised collaboration, architecture, as an isolated discipline, seems no longer equipped to address the demands of contemporary society. One solution offered in this crisis of relevance is transdisciplinarity; the hybridisation of architecture with adjacent disciplines. As such, this concept has risen to become the dominant mode of contemporary architectural practice. Transdisciplinarity is the New Order.

Inflection Vol. 3 will explore the limits and the implications of this transdisciplinary age through a critical investigation of this current mode of practice.

Submissions may include, but are not limited to essays, reviews, speculations, illustrations, photographs, or diagrams equivalent to a maximum of 3000 words.

Please email abstracts of maximum 300 words to editorial@inflectionjournal.com by 25 November 2015.
