会议征稿 | IASTE 2026暨国际传统人居环境研究会年会一号通知

国际传统人居环境研究会（IASTE）2026年会将由上海交通大学设计学院承办，系这一有30余年历史的国际顶尖学术会议第一次在中国大陆举办。本届大会以“传统的转译”为主题，预计将有超过50个国家的200余名国内外学者、建筑师、设计师、遗产管理者和从业者等参与。大会交流语言为英语。申请参会者请于2025年9月15日前提交500词英文摘要（通过会议官网iaste.org）。详情请参见下文。

会议主题

“传统”在不同的文化语境和社会群体中始终具有多重内涵，包括其遗产、传承、约束及其各种属性。IASTE早已将“传统”这一概念提升为全球智识对话的核心议题之一，但针对“tradition”一词的翻译，却因历史与当代语境的差异而在不同社会文化背景下呈现多样化。例如在中文语境中，“传统”一直在建成环境的建构过程中发挥着关键作用。无论从语言还是实践角度，“传统”的翻译和转译虽被广泛使用，却缺乏足够的学术探讨与定义。正如历届IASTE会议所指出的，“传统”在不同文化和语言中很难找到确切的对应词，甚至在同一文化中，其含义也可因时间推移而发生变化。那么，在“可翻译性”这一前提并不确定的条件下，我们如何在全球范围内开展理论与实践的对话？对话能否启发与传统相关的当代设计实践？近年来新兴技术的发展又如何促进新的转译实践，重塑我们与时间和空间的关系？本届会议并不旨在得出统一的结论，而是聚焦于“传统的转译”过程中那些富于挑战性、争议性与批判性的理论与实践议题。

With the theme "Translating Tradition", IASTE 2026 in Shanghai aims to advance this discourse within the IASTE intellectual framework, set against the backdrop of the vibrant metropolis of Shanghai, located between China and the world, where tradition has been dynamically translated, constructed and redefined. Lying at the crossroads of Eastern and Western culture since the mid-19th century, Shanghai has been translating tradition from the West to the East, as seen in its rich architectural heritage referred to in China as "the architectural expo of the world". At the same time, it has translated its multicultural traditions into the present through vibrant design practices in a globalized context. Throughout this process, one may ask, for example, in the case of Shanghai, what new knowledge has been produced through ongoing processes of cross-cultural exchange and construction of the modern built environment that came to be identified with Shanghai itself? How have these dynamics ushered new relations to China's cultural past and urban identity of Shanghai, which once lay at the margins of Western modernity and the center of Chinese modernity? As we embrace the role of diverse traditions in shaping the built environments in cities like Shanghai, we often neglect to interrogate the crucial temporal, spatial, and socio-cultural processes involved in this translation. This is even more essential in metropolitan places and cities with multilayered histories. For instance, by whom and for whom are these translations intended? Which traditions are chosen or neglected in this process? How can we explain the semantic changes in both physical and non-physical dimensions? 

IASTE 2026 will address theoretical complexities associated with translating the concept across languages and cultures and examine practical challenges faced by architects, urban designers, and heritage practitioners in translating and inheriting tradition in spheres such as urban renewal, rural revitalization, and heritage tourism. The organizers of IASTE 2026 invite prospective participants to submit papers that consider numerous ways in which traditions have been translated across dimensions of space and time. As in past IASTE conferences, scholars, professionals, and practitioners from anthropology, architecture, architectural history, conservation, design, folklore, geography, history, planning, urban design, landscape architecture, urban studies, and related disciplines are encouraged to submit papers that address one of the following tracks:

TRACK I: TRANSLATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF TRADITION ACROSS SPACE AND TIME

Papers in this track will delve into the intricacies and complexities of translating the term "tradition" across varied linguistic and cultural spectra. Given the multifaceted interpretations and applications of tradition, papers are encouraged to reflect upon, dissect, and redefine the theoretical contours of tradition as mentioned earlier with the Chinese notion of "chuan tong". How does one understand and articulate the concept of "tradition" in a global lexicon? Where does the term overlap or diverge across cultural paradigms? By anchoring our discussion in such questions, this track aims to elucidate tradition's diverse intellectual constructions and theoretical legacies.

本议题的论文将聚焦“传统”一词在不同语言与文化中转译的复杂性。鉴于传统的多重诠释与运用，我们鼓励论文对“传统”的理论边界进行反思、剖析与重新界定，如前文所提的“传统”一词。我们如何在全球语境中理解并表达“传统”？在不同文化范式中，传统的概念是如何重叠或分歧的？在不同的文化范式中，该术语存在哪些重叠与分歧？通过围绕这些问题展开讨论，本议题旨在阐明“传统”在知识建构与理论传承中的多样形态。

TRACK II: DEPLOYING TRADITION IN PRACTICE ACROSS CULTURES

Tradition isn't merely an abstract concept. It is dynamically embodied in tangible manifestations, reshaping spaces and influencing the built environment over time and across cultures. Papers in this track will unravel the challenges and innovations associated with deploying traditions across various local, national and international boundaries. This track will provide insights into how architects, urban designers, and heritage practitioners negotiate, embrace, or adapt traditions by focusing on real-world scenarios such as urban renewal, rural revitalization, and heritage tourism. How do these professionals bridge the past with the present, the local with the global, and the inherited with the innovative? This track explores these intersections, offering a holistic understanding of tradition's practical implications in our rapidly evolving world.

传统并不只是一个抽象的概念。它以物化的形式被动态体现，随着时间推移并跨越文化界限，不断重塑空间并影响建成环境。本议题的文章将探讨在不同地方、国家与国际边界中，实践传统所面临的挑战与创新。议题将深入剖析建筑师、城市设计师与遗产从业者如何在城市更新、乡村振兴与遗产旅游等现实案例中协商、接纳或调适传统。他们如何在过去与现在、本地与全球、传承与创新之间架构起桥梁？通过探讨这些交汇点，本议题提供了一个更整体的视角来理解传统在当今迅速变化世界中的实践意义。

As with previous IASTE conferences, IASTE members and scholars who have produced new and innovative work on popular, vernacular, Indigenous, spontaneous, and other forms of traditional dwellings and settlements that may not directly address the conference theme are invited to participate in this open track. Papers will be selected based on quality and assigned to similar papers in theme sessions.

与以往IASTE会议一致，IASTE成员及在民间、地方性、原住民、自发性等传统居住与聚落形式方面有新颖研究成果的学者，亦欢迎参与本开放议题，尽管其研究内容未必直接回应本次会议主题。论文将根据质量进行遴选，并归入相关主题的小组讨论中。

Over the past few years, IASTE conferences have included special sessions and panels on conference themes collectively organized or sponsored by specific groups or institutions. Such proposals are welcome again in 2026 to facilitate outreach to researchers from disciplines not normally engaged with IASTE or to introduce new topics or debates.

近年来，IASTE会议设置了由特定研究团体或机构共同组织或赞助的专题论坛与特设小组，围绕会议主题展开深入讨论。2026年会议将继续欢迎此类提案，以促进与IASTE通常未涉猎学科的研究者建立联系，或引入新的议题与学术争论。

会议赞助和奖励计划

Two awards will be given for papers presented to the conference: the Jeffrey Cook Award for the best paper by a scholar dealing with traditional dwellings the Eleni Bastea Award for the best paper on an urban Issue. Most winners will receive a monetary award, and their papers will be published in the IASTE journal Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review (TDSR) after appropriate review and revision. In addition to these standard paper awards, IASTE will offer a number of Conference Attendance Grants. These stipends will be awarded to graduate students and junior scholars on a merit-need basis. The funds may be disbursed before the conference to offset registration fees or after the conference as reimbursement for travel or accommodation expenses.

本次会议将颁发两项论文奖项：杰弗里·库克奖（Jeffrey Cook Award）：授予在传统居住研究领域表现最佳的学者论文；埃琳尼·巴斯蒂亚奖（Eleni Bastea Award）：授予聚焦城市议题的最佳论文。大多数获奖者将获得奖金，其论文将在通过评审与修改后，发表于IASTE主办期刊《传统住屋与聚落评论（Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review）》（TDSR）。除上述论文奖项外，IASTE还将提供若干面向研究生与青年学者的参会资助金，依据学术能力与经济需求综合评定。该笔资助可用于会议前抵扣注册费，或会议后用于报销交通或住宿费用。

会议地点

On both Xuhui and Minhang campuses of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in venues with history across 130 years. The School of Design's main building, which is a translation of the Chinese traditional housing culture and wooden structure, will hold the opening session and some other major events. The Xuhui campus is located in the historic center of Shanghai and is one of China's earliest modern university campuses. It will host all the paper sessions. 

会议将在上海交通大学徐汇校区与闵行校区举办，这是两片跨越130年历史的校园。开幕式及部分重要活动将于闵行校区设计学院主楼举行，该建筑以中国传统院落住宅和木构体系为灵感进行转译设计。徐汇校区位于上海历史城区中心，是中国最早的现代大学校园之一，将主要承办论文分论坛环节。

Three walking tours will be organized to explore Shanghai's various faces, including the historical center, the former foreign concessions from the mid-19th to early 20th century, the waterfronts, and urban renewal districts with avant-garde design.

会议期间将组织三条徒步参访线路，带领与会者探索上海的多重面貌，包括历史城区、19世纪中叶至20世纪初的外国租界、黄浦江滨水空间，以及融合先锋设计的城市更新区域。

有关会后参观行程的更多信息将于后期更新。
