Environmental Design Research Association EDRA organize  in New Orleans, Louisiana a congress that takes place May 28-31, 201.EDRA45: Building with Change will focus on new research methods and design strategies for the human habitation of our dynamic environment. Without sacrificing the principles of safety, comfort, justice, cognition, and choice, how can design lead to innovative ways of accepting, absorbing, and reacting to change? Does change present us with design opportunities? Can building with change, in fact, provide opportunity for even greater environmental, social, and economic health and stability? Conference themes will engage diverse approaches to building with change, from resisting dynamic environmental forces to accepting and accommodating them. Sessions will address a range of research and design methods including cognition and developing awareness of change, anticipatory planning for possible future scenarios, and design inquiry about dwelling in a dynamic landscape.Call for Proposals/SubmissionsTRACK 01: SHIFTING LATITUDES     Track Chair: Brian DavisTRACK 02: ECOLOGY, RESILIENCE, AND LEGIBILITY     Track Chair: Nina-Marie ListerTRACK 03: MAPPING CHANGE     Track Chair: Renee Y.
