The Climate Design Summit, hosted by Peking University, will be held in Beijing on October 29, 2024. To further promote and disseminate the academic outcomes of this Summit, the journal Landscape Architecture Frontiers (LA Frontiers) will collect conference papers during the event. The research topics and related submission requirements are as follows.
Research Topics
The forum will explore how to use design thinking to systematically address the climate crises. This includes optimizing the design of objects, spaces, and production or living systems across various scales—from everyday items, fashion, and household goods to cities, landscapes, and national territories—ultimately achieving overall mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
