​SAUC Call for Papers 2019 - now closed

Theme of Volume 5: 
​Desire Lines, literal and metaphorical 

“Desier Lines” general topic can be see both literally and metaphorically. "The shortest way from A to B Splendidly laid pavements, traffic-safety barriers and idyllically organized pedestrian areas are avoided with sober insight. Desire lines are tangible proof that people do not allow themselves to be straitjacketed in public space and that they only have one goal: to find the shortest way from A tot B." As putted by Jan Dirk van der Burg (that kindly allowed our usage of his work).

We invite case studies, theoretical explorations, stories from Street Art and Graffiti practitioners, best practices, cautionary tales, and practical approaches for improving human-city interaction and the urban environment. We are interested in photo essays, architectural drawings, lessons from history, first-person accounts and interpretations, academic research, information about urban design working groups, articles on techniques, methodologies, explorations of bad design, before-and-after transformations, policy and politics of urban design change, and philosophical principles for urban (re)design and usability. 

The working language for SAUC is English. 
Double blind review will be done by the Scientific Committee.
