About this Event
We are pleased to announce the 2023 Annual Conference of the Renaissance Architecture and Theory Scholars (RATS), hosted by the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Edinburgh College of Art, at the University of Edinburgh. The conference will take place on a hybrid basis, i.e., both in person and virtually, and is open to all interested in Renaissance architecture and architectural theory. The event is free to attend in-person or online, but registration via Eventbrite by 23 March 2023 at 12 noon UK time is required.
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on topics in the history of Renaissance architecture and theory, broadly defined. We welcome research on all chronologies of Renaissance architectural culture, including its reception in other periods, as well as all geographies implicated in Renaissance architectural culture. We are open to both emerging research and work that is nearing publication. Finally, we especially urge any postgraduate student or early career researcher who would like to present original research to submit a paper proposal. Because the conference is hybrid, anyone with an internet connection can present research or participate as an audience member from anywhere in the world. A key goal of the upcoming meeting is to expand accessibility to RATS and widen participation among scholars who may not have previously enjoyed the benefits of our community. To that end, the upcoming meeting will also include time for a group discussion on future plans for RATS.
If you would like to present a paper in the upcoming meeting, please send a title and an abstract of c. 250 words or less, as well as a brief, c. 150-word bio or CV of no more than 2 pages to [email protected] by Friday, 13 January 2023 at 12 noon UK time.
