We invite papers that demonstrate critical thinking and reflection on the evolving sustainability discourses in relation to architectural design thinking, and develop a specific position on sustainability.

1. Architectural (re)interpretation(s) of the 3 sustainability pillars (social, economic & environmental)
2. Historical-critical reviews of green consciousness in architecture-culture
3. An appraisal of contemporary sustainable design practices
4. Reviewing critical perspectives in the bioclimatic design, energy and performance discourses
5. Rethinking the role/position of LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) & sustainability assessment frameworks (LEED, BREEAM, etc.) in architectural design
6. Reconciling architectural expression (form-making, aesthetics) & sustainability performance (operation)
7. Interdisciplinary theoretical explorations of the intersection between design, technology and nature discourses
8. Explorative papers on sustainability through research by design
