2018 ACSA Fall Conference | PLAY with the Rules
BRIEF

Host School: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Co-chairs: Jasmine Benyamin, Nikole Bouchard, Whitney Moon, Kyle Reynolds, & Mo Zell, UWM
CALL FOR DESIGN PROPOSALS
In the spirit of the conference theme, we seek to broaden both the form and content of submissions. As a result, we have created a call for small and large designs that Play with the Rules.
Submission Deadline: April 18, 2018
Call for SMALL Design Proposals: The Portmanteau
In their 1991 Tourisms: Suitcase Studies installation at the Walker Art Center, Diller + Scofidio broke the boundaries between art, architecture and design with a traveling exhibition that explored the relationships between bodies, geographies, histories and technologies. Taking inspiration from this playful, yet powerful approach, the call for The Portmanteau seeks physical design proposals packaged within a carry-on suitcase that clearly address one of the conference sub-themes. Selected Portmanteaux will be displayed and discussed during the 2018 ACSA Fall Conference (and then exhibited at a Milwaukee museum). To submit a Portmanteau proposal, please provide:Portmanteau Submission Requirements
A Portmanteau project description that does not exceed 250 words.
One letter-sized image that clearly conveys the Portmanteau project.
Call for LARGE Design Proposals: The Pavilion
There are seemingly more experimental architectural attitudes and movements than ever. There is also less capital available to test that experimentation on prototypical building typologies. As such, pavilions have become the de-facto medium for built architectural experimentation. Pavilion competitions and exhibitions are pervasive and run the gamut. While we’re adding yet another to the list, we seek pavilion proposals that critically re-examine the role of the pavilion in contemporary architectural discourse and production. Pavilion proposals should clearly address one of the conference sub-themes and be designed as site-less with a $25,000 budget in mind. Selected pavilions will be debated during the 2018 ACSA Fall Conference and displayed at a Milwaukee museum. Pending available funding, a winning Pavilion will be built on a local site (TBD).

* Authors of selected pavilion entries will be asked to submit three 20”x30” portrait oriented presentation boards and a 1”=1’-0” physical model to be exhibited at the 2018 ACSA Fall Conference.
*Funding is being sought from the NEA to support the construction of the design proposals both small and large: The Portmanteau and The Pavilion. Notification of this funding will be announced as early as April 2018.
