CCAE have just launched a call for papers for a conference in CCAE next March titled Architecture in the Critical Zone. AIARG 2026 | University College Cork The term "Critical Zone" is taken from the geo-sciences and describes the biochemical, fragile layer of the earth, its surface on which life is created. By the French philosopher Bruno Latour, the term is extended to a critical, participatory relationship to our living world, whose threatened state has reached an unprecedented scale in the Earth's now man-made history. Latour has described this worldwide situation, which affects all living beings on the planet, as a "new climate regime". It is not limited to ecological crises, but touches on questions of politics and cultural history as well as ethical and epistemological changes of perspective. The call invites submissions from other disciplines to contribute to architecture's reconception of the terrestrial in this time of climate crisis and we would welcome contributions from colleagues in engineering and sustainability.
