Making a pun on the famous video 'Powers of Ten' by Eames, the aim for this call for papers "The Power of the Skin", is the publication of a “Research Book“ containing the articles of the researchers that have properly dealt with the proposed research topic: The architectonic implications and architectural transformations of coating through new materiality in contemporary design.

Rules.

ARKRIT (Group of Architectural Research at the School of Architecture of Madrid) and COMPAC The Surfaces Company launch this call for papers in a joint research project that studies the theoretical and practical framework generated around the use of new coating materials and how they are influencing these innovations in contemporary architectural production.

The publication will have an international registration number (ISBN) and the articles will be published both in English and Spanish. The authors will be paid with the amount of 150€ per article selected.

Authors are invited to submit an abstract of 300 words before February 11th 2016 at 23:59 to the following email address: arkrit.dpa.etsam@gmail.com

All abstracts received will pass through a blind peer evaluation. According to the two reports of the reviewers, the Scientific Committee will invite authors to submit a complete document. That will be reviewed by the Committee for its possible publication.
