The University Of Detroit Mercy School Of Architecture is conducting a call for entries for the 21st edition of Dichotomy.

The theme of Dichotomy 21 is Odds. ODDS evokes many dichotomous conditions that defy the status quo and aim for greater fortune. Dichotomy 21 seeks to investigate ideas such as risky development opportunities, architectural anomalies, and gambling with the future of our urban infrastructure. Submissions should consider the implications of defying the odds and embracing the strange through novel reflections on architecture, urbanism, or community development.

Dichotomy, a student published journal, strives to be a critical link between UDM students and the discourses on design, architecture, urbanism, and community development. Like the institution, Dichotomy focuses on social justice and critical thought concerning intellectual, spiritual, ethical, and social development both in and outside of Detroit. The aim of Dichotomy is to disseminate these relevant investigations conducted by students, faculty, and professionals.
