Call for Papers: Cubic Issue #10 – Peri-pheral Design
Exploring emerging approaches at the peripheries of design towards resilient futures in a post-Anthropocene world
Issue Editors: Krity Gera (Royal College of Art, London) and Ashley Hall (RCA)
This call for papers for the Peri-pheral Design issue of Cubic Journal invites scholars and practitioners to highlight such peripheral approaches towards unimagined resilient design futures. For peri-pheral design, we consider three dimensions: social, making and the design economy. In this respect, we pose the following questions: What are the elements that signify peri-pheral design? Who or what comprise theperipheral agents and what is the significance of their roles? How does this approach/lens of peripheries contribute to the evolving landscape of design processes transitioning towards more equitable and resilient futures? What is the evolving role of technology within these peripheral arrangements? We welcome theoretical contributions, case studies, photo essays, pictorials and short videos that respond to one or more of the areas outlined in the download.
