Kerb is an internationally recognised journal of landscape architecture, edited and funded by students. Produced by RMIT University for close to three decades, it has served as a testbed for the critical explorations of a host of landscape architecture and city-making professionals.  

This year the theme is,
Decentre: 

Designing for coexistence in a time of crisis.
The global climate and ecological crisis we are experiencing has been created by humans. In this crisis we encounter our ecological entanglement and the destructive lineage of ideas and institutions that have conceived of humans as detached, special and centred.

In Kerb 28, we look with a broad lens towards ideas, practices and knowledges that better enable coexistence. In what ways do these offer a departure from the predominant modes of societal agency? What role can design play in imagining and embracing forms of agency that will allow us to co-inhabit earth with non-humans? 

Kerb is a Journal of Landscape Architecture although submissions are open to all disciplines.

We are asking for submissions of abstracts for text and image based work. 
Our EOI is open to a maximum 200 word abstract or description, ideally with an accompanying image. Submissions close on the 22nd April 2020.

In this year of heightened uncertainty Kerb 28 offers an opportunity to reflect and interrogate our position in the world we share. We acknowledge the challenges and hardships those around the world may be currently facing but hope that this issue will offer a moment to reflect on what positive changes could come out of this crisis.
