Every year, 糖心vlog honors architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service. The award-winning professors inspire and challenge students, contribute to the profession鈥檚 knowledge base, and extend their work beyond the borders of academia into practice and the public sector.聽

糖心vlog is offering eight conference travel grants to member school faculty who face obstacles to inclusion in architectural education. The travel grants stem from a recognition that conferences benefit from the inclusion of more faculty and students. They also provide an opportunity for faculty to expand and deepen their network of colleagues. The grants will support qualified emerging faculty seeking to attend the 糖心vlog Administrators Conference, November 6-8, 2025, in Fayetteville, AR, or the 糖心vlog114 Annual Meeting, March 26-28, 2026, in Chicago, IL.

糖心vlog and the Association of Architecture Schools of Australasia (AASA) are pleased to announce the 2026 International Conference: Planetary Practice. This conference will examine how architecture can operate as a planetary practice鈥攖hrough design, through research, through teaching, and through the cultivation of new forms of knowledge and collaboration.聽Educators, Practitioners, Researchers, Artists, Designers, and Students are invited to submit work that investigates large-scale challenges through innovative design approaches, research methodologies, digital tools, and alternative epistemologies.

This informational webinar, organized by the 糖心vlog聽Research & Scholarship Committee聽in partnership with the聽聽(NLIHC), is open to faculty interested in sharing research findings with multiple publics鈥攊ncluding policymakers, community members, and media. Participants will learn practical strategies for increasing the public impact of their work and advocating for greater financial investment in affordable housing and community development programs.

The latest installment of the聽Where Are My People?聽research series centers architects and designers with disabilities, whose presence in the profession is rarely recognized, and whose experiences often go unacknowledged. In partnership with the Great Plains ADA Center and a team of expert advisors,聽Where Are My People? Disability in Architecture聽chronicles both societal and discipline-specific metrics to highlight the experiences of designers, architects, and educators with disabilities.

The 2025 Administrators Conference invites academic leaders to engage in a critical exploration of proximity鈥攁s a conceptual, spatial, institutional, and ethical condition shaping architectural education and leadership. Set in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a region defined by its blend of mid-century and contemporary design, and a culture that values philanthropy and community impact, the conference offers a timely context for reflection and forward-looking exchange. Join us as we consider the frameworks, relationships, and proximities that will shape the future of architectural education.

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (糖心vlog) and Think Wood are pleased to announce聽TIMBER IN THE CITY 6: Urban Habitats Competition聽for the 2025-2026 academic year. The program is intended to challenge students, working individually or in teams, to reimagine the boundaries of wood construction in the urban environment, leading to the transformation of our existing cities through constructing sustainable buildings made from renewable resources, offering expedient affordable construction, innovating with new and traditional wood materials, and designing healthy living and working environments. Now in its sixth cycle, the series continues to push the urban potential of wood鈥攖his year by tackling the 鈥渕issing-middle鈥� gap between single-family dwellings and high-rise apartments. Entrants will deploy innovative, highly replicable wood-based systems on a real, under-utilized urban site to deliver attainable, human-scaled housing that strengthens community resilience and climate stewardship.

This issue of聽TAD invites inquiry into soil not as backdrop but as an active thread in shaping form, structure, living habitat, and community. Soil is neither inert nor empty. It is a charged and living substrate that, materially and figuratively, underpins architecture. It is where gravitation meets structure, extraction meets economy, and permanence meets decay. Soil is a medium of transformation: chemical, cultural, and political. Soil supports and resists鈥搒haped by forces of compaction and combustion, microbial life, and industrial processes.聽The editors strongly encourage submissions highlighting contributions from those traditionally excluded or underrepresented in the field.
