About the journal
In 2009, Places again joins the Environmental Design Research Association and Metropolis Magazin in an awards program recognizing professional and scholarly excellence in environmental design. The program reflects the related missions of EDRA, Places, and Metropolis to create an expanded forum for high-quality environmental and urban design that enhances awareness and concern for the public realm. Formerly known as the EDRA/Places Awards, the name of the program is now "The Great Places Awards."
In it's twelfth year, the program is distinguished by its interdisciplinary focus, concern for human factors in the design of the built environment, and commitment to promoting links between design research and practice. Entries represent the full breadth of environmental design and related social science activity, including architecture, landscape architecture, planning, urban design, interior design, public art, lighting design, graphic design, environmental psychology, sociology, anthropology and geography.
Design Awards recognize completed projects that demonstrate excellence as human environments. Planning Awards recognize projects that make proposals for the future design, use or management of a place. Research Awards recognize projects that investigate the relationship between design and human behavior, culture or experience. In 2008, the new award category for outstanding books was added. The fall issue of Places (20.3) featured in-depth articles on the 2008 winners.
Places is pleased to announce that Nancy Levinson, the Director of the Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory at the College of Design, Arizona State University, has been appointed its new editor. She succeeds Donlyn Lyndon, after his twenty-five years of leadership in shepherding the journal's evolution from its inception in 1983 to its present position as a lively and respected forum dedicated to design for the public realm.
Nancy was selected through an expansive, year-long process which involved invited nominations and extensive interviews. She brings outstanding experience to the job, having been one of the founding editors of Harvard Design Magazine and serving as its co-editor from 1997 to 2001. She served as an acquisitions editor for Princeton Architectural Press during 2002 and 2003 and has written widely for both print and online journals. She is a contributing editor with Architectural Record, and for two years wrote the Web log "Pixel Points" for Arts Journal. Her resume includes several years of architectural practice, which explains, in part, her interest in bridging between the academy and the profession as well as engaging the disciplines and the public. The Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory (PURL) is an urban design center dedicated to advancing professional and intellectual discourse on the future of urbanism, with Phoenix as a laboratory.
Nancy's leadership will include exploring new formats and media. In collaboration with the Design History Foundation and the Places Editorial Advisory Board, she will focus on the potential for developing a new and expanded online platform. The essential goal will be to enhance Places' commitment to peer-reviewed, scholarly publication, reflective observation, and graphic excellence, while taking full, creative advantage of the resources and reach of the World Wide Web. This can be a momentous transition for Places.
Donlyn Lyndon, Eva Li Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, Emeritus, at U.C. Berkeley, will remain Chair of the Design History Foundation Board of Directors. He notes, "Intelligent public discourse has an ever more vital role to play. Places will continue to lead in the search for elements of a just and compelling public realm." With fresh leadership and innovations in format, we are seeking to enhance our impact and broaden our community of readers and contributors. More than ever, we encourage your continued interest, support, and participation in what promises to be an exciting evolution.
