the gradual changing in the length of the seasons, as demonstrated by earlier flowering of plants, thought by many to be caused by climate change.1
As seasons shift in response to climate change, the rhythms that once structured landscapes, bodies, and built environments begin to destabilize. Season Creep invites reflections on phenological change, ecological precarity, and the uneven, often imperceptible pace of irreversible transformation.
This issue brings together researchers and practitioners across architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, and the arts to examine how seasonal knowledge—once grounded in cycles of cultivation, migration, and celebration—is being reconfigured across disciplines and geographies. Through writing, drawing, and documentation, contributors are invited to trace what it means to inhabit a world in which seasons no longer arrive as expected.
The open call for DELUS Issue 2, Season Creep has now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted their work.
A new DELUS website is currently under construction. More information about the forthcoming issue, future events and calls will be available here soon. In the meantime, please follow DELUS for updates.
Issue 2, Season Creep, is part of "DELUS: Dialogues on Changing Landscapes" (2026–2029), a collaborative project with ILEA, funded by SNSF.
