Recalls Reconstructions Projections, Gebunden

Klappentext

How can architecture intervene in challenging situations? How can it influence social dynamics and give rise to new forms of activity? What are the methods, tools, and media that it uses and what roles do they play in generating new knowledge?
Taking these questions as its starting point, Recalls, Reconstructions, Projections explores the potential of architectural design to disrupt and transform existing systems and contexts by employing technical, aesthetic, and symbolic practices and visualization techniques. The development of new time-based media of investigation, imagination, and cooperation renders design eminently suitable for initiating actions of transgression, resistance, and collective participation.
Based on these considerations, the volume sheds light on design viewed as a critical spatial practice, knowledge creation, and form finding. The theoretical and practical contributions gathered here open up a variety of content-led and methodological approaches to the burgeoning field of media-cultural and architectural design research.
