Dichotomy 17 Exchange, University of Detroit Mercy

The University Of Detroit Mercy School Of Architecture is conducting a call for entries for the 17th edition of Dichotomy.

The UDM School of Architecture exists to provide an excellent, student-centered, accredited, professional, and architectural education in an urban context. The institution seeks to develop architects who are sensitive designers, technically competent, socially responsible and culturally aware, who exhibit the highest ethical and professional standards, and who devote time and service to the professional and greater community.

Dichotomy, a student published journal, strives to be a critical link between UDM students and the discourses on design, architecture, urbanism, and community development. Like the institution, Dichotomy focuses on social justice and critical thought concerning intellectual, spiritual, ethical, and social development both in and outside of Detroit. The aim of Dichotomy is to disseminate these relevant investigations conducted by students, faculty, and professionals.

The theme of the 17th edition is “Exchange.” Entries should both explore diverse methods as well as explain processes of exchange in design and architecture. Types of exchange include, but are not limited to: …

Cultural
Physical
Economical
Educational
Phenomenological
Architectural
Material
Foreign
Social
Political
Spiritual

Sustainable
