In cooperation with Metropolis Magazine, The Environmental Design Research Association is seeking the best work that exemplifies "excellent places and how people inhabit them. The deadline for EDRA/Places Awards 2008 is February 7, 2008.

We invite participation from the full breadth of environmental design and related research activities, including architecture, landscape architecture, planning, urban design, interior design, lighting design, graphic design, environmental psychology, sociology, anthropology, geography and the physical sciences.

Each year we assemble a jury with diverse backgrounds in design, research, teaching and practice. The jury evaluates how each project, no matter what the discipline, addresses the human experience of well-designed places. Special attention is paid to the transferability of research about human experience of place into design and planning practice. The jury will select six winners from three categories: place design, place planning, place research, and a book prize. The book prize is a new, additional award this year
