SUMMARY:Conference — Designers of Mountains and Water: Alternative Landscapes for a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sinographic compound (山水)\, denoting “mountain and water\,” is widely shared across many Asian contexts\, with different regional traditions and approaches. As shanshui in China\, sansui in Japan\, and sansu in Korea\, the term has historically referred to creative artistic and philosophical visions of the natural world\, combining the vital elements of a fully dynamic landscape. With climate change underway\, what contemporary elements and dimensions of nature are necessary for designing and building sustainable spaces for human habitation and flourishing? Contemporary landscape architects from Northeast and Southeast Asia are trying to answer this question by rethinking the relation between social and natural forms. Their aim is to design habitable futures at the intersection of the two. \n\n\n\nThis conference will feature leading landscape architects and scholars from China\, Japan\, Korea\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, and Thailand\, as well as Australia and the US\, to discuss the perspectives\, histories\, politics\, and the most compelling projects of sustainable design in the Asian context. \n\n\n\nThis conference accompanies the exhibition Designers of Mountain and Water\, which will be on display in the Druker Design Gallery from January 20 to April 4\, 2026. Curated by Jungyoon Kim\, Associate Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture at the GSD\, the exhibition features more than 45 works of landscape architecture by 23 practices in Asia.For more information\, including a detailed agenda\, please visit the conference’s web page.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Harvard East Asia Society Conference — Delineations: Temporality\, Boundaries\, and Imaginaries of East Asia
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard East Asia Society (HEAS) Graduate Student Conference is an annual two-day event that provides an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on topics related to Asia. This year\, we are excited to host twelve panels featuring Harvard faculty and participants from around the world\, as well as keynote addresses by Professor Paul Roquet of MIT and Professor Yoon Sun Yang of Boston University.  \n\n\n\nThe HEAS 2026 conference is entitled “Delineations: Temporality\, Boundaries\, and Imaginaries of East Asia.” Through this theme\, we aim to explore a simple question: What do we do when we draw the line? We delineate to describe\, to trace\, to portray\, and to mark out the vagueness and ambiguities that find purchase in scholarship. How does navigating between liminalities inform our understanding of East Asia? This year’s conference asks scholars to re-examine how a world created entirely of ascriptions reveals intrinsic and extrinsic connections among subjects\, space\, borders\, history\, and time.  \n\n\n\nThe conference will run from February 13-14\, 2026\, in Harvard CGIS South. More information can be found on its website here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
