London Festival of Architecture: “Does identity matter?” A symposium on architecture and identity, Friday 15th June, 11:00-18:00, Royal Academy of Arts

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

When: Friday 15th June 2018, 11:00-18:00

Where: Royal Academy of Arts, Burlington House entrance Piccadilly London W1J 0BD / 6 Burlington Gardens entrance, London W1S 3ET

Tickets: free tickets available for Westminster students (worth £15). Email rosa@londonfestivalofarchitecture.org

The London Festival of Architecture is proud to present Does Identity Matter? – the inaugural LFA Symposium on Friday 15 June. The event offers a rich exploration of identity in the context of individual and collective expression, place-making and architectural practice, and takes place at the Royal Academy – newly re-opened following a major expansion project designed by Sir David Chipperfield.

Identity can be seen as the intangible patina that has formed upon places over decades or centuries, or as a more synthetic recent invention by marketers and developers: either way it is fundamental to our understanding of the buildings and spaces around us. Does Identity Matter? will bring together prominent architects, academics and commentators to explore how identity acts as a potent architectural force in shaping London. We will challenge how people connect and identify with their homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods and the city as a whole.

The highlight of the day is a keynote address by Mary Duggan. In a talk entitled The identity of the profession: starting again, Mary will share her experience of setting up two successful practices and the role identity plays in forging a successful presence in a marketplace that is abundant in talent. Having initially founded Duggan Morris Architects, she will reflect upon its commercial success and the lessons she has taken from it in establishing Mary Duggan Architects, and the role identity has played in creating her own distinct profile, focus and skillset.

Panel 01 – Destruction of City’s Identity (chaired by Rob Bevan, architecture critic)

  • Verity Jane Keefe (visual artist working predominantly in the public realm) – ‘Outer London love affairs’
  • Clare Melhuish (director, UCL Urban Laboratory and an anthropologist specialising in architecture and the built environment) – ‘Universities as agents of change in urban identities’
  • Maya Ober (founding editor of the practice-led research platform Depatriarchise Design) – ‘Antagonised identities of South Tel Aviv neighbourhoods of Shapira and Neve Sha-anan’
  • Rhiannon Williams (poet, currently studying MA Narrative Environments at Central St Martins) – ‘Fracture Edit: recoding the Cypriot buffer zone

Panel 2 – Production of City’s Identity (chaired by Shumi Bose, senior lecturer in architecture, Central St Martins, UAL)

  • Adam Greenfield (London-based writer and urbanist) – ‘Inhospitable Soil: destination London and the difficulty of the commons’
  • Mustafa Chehabeddine (design principal, Kohn Pedersen Fox) – ‘Iconic architecture and the city identity’
  • Emily Gee (London planning director, Historic England) – London’s identity on the (sky)line’
  • Morag Myerscough (designer/artist fascinated how colour, pattern and words can change urban environments and perceptions of spaces into places) – ‘Can we together make belonging?’

Call for Papers: “Research Culture in Architecture”, International Conference on Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration in Architecture_Deadline 1st June 2018

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

Research Culture in Architecture – International Conference on Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration in Architecture

Where: Fachbereich Architektur der TU Kaiserslautern (fatuk), Germany

When: September 27 – 28, 2018

Deadline: Jun 1, 2018

During the Gothic period, Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa (1180-1240) established the foundations of theoretical geometry. Back then, the masters of building were architects, artists and engineers at the same time. Geometry strongly influenced their artistic work. Unfortunately, little is passed down about their knowledge, because the architects did not write.

The Gothic period stands figuratively for the complexity of architecture and its research culture. Architecture refers to many participating disciplines such as construction, materials sciences, building physics, sociology, fabrication technology, computer science, geometry, arts, architectural history and theory. It is significant, that these disciplines are interlinked in planning, design and realization processes of architecture. Compared to other sciences this is certainly one of the reasons why the development of a research culture in architecture is more difficult.

The international conference aims to discuss topics and methods in architectural research, focusing on their cross-disciplinary interrelations and their relevance to the design process itself. We are interested to see approaches to the development of a research culture in architecture. This conference will identify research topics and methods, encourages a research discourse and provides impulses especially for young researchers.

The cross-disciplinary interrelations will be debated through invited keynote lectures, as well as presentations of papers and posters, which have been accepted by our scientific committee. The invited experts from academia and practice will showcase pioneering projects and developments from various fields of architectural research. Additionally, the topics will be discussed at round tables.

Keynote speakers:

Sigrid Brell-Cokcan, RWTH Aachen, Germany / Margitta Buchert, LUH Hannover, Germany / Christian Derix, Woods Bagot SuperSpace, Sydney, Australia / Michael Hensel, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) Oslo, Norway / Caitlin Müller, MIT Cambridge, USA / Eike Roswag-Klinge, TU Berlin, Germany

Call for abstracts:

In addition to the keynote lectures, we invite students, doctoral students, academics, researchers, professors and practising architects to participate in this conference. In this call for papers we invite you to submit abstracts for papers, presentations and posters.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Construction, material and practice:
Support structures, facade concepts, timber-constructions, timber-concrete-composite construction, concrete structures, sustainable building, space concepts, modular building, building components and connections, 3D modelling, architectural geometry, digital fabrication,…

Architectural theory and design methods:
Perception and design, spatial concepts, performance-oriented design, neuro-architecture, history and design, reflection of methods, representation as design method, representation and simulation, algorithmic and generative processes, parametric design concepts…

In the spirit of our conference theme, we suggest that you discuss your investigations within the wider context of architectural research.

Questions could be:

  • Are the interrelations between material and form in architecture changing?
  • How can sustainability bring disciplines together?
  • How is the role of geometry changing in the architectural design processes?
  • How is human perception considered in your research?
  • Which kind of representations can help to visualize the design methods in architecture?
  • How did historical research affect architecture at its time?
  • How can architectural history have an impact on architectural design today?
  • How does the filter bubble affect research & practice?
  • How does practice benefit from architectural research?
  • What can new theories of embodiment and neuroscience bring to architectural design?
  • Does your technological research consider society issues?
  • How does your research address human challenges such as migration, demographic changes and climate change?
  • Is the role of technology in architecture changing?
  • How do we evaluate the performance of architecture?
  • What is the impact of machine learning and artificial intelligence on architecture?

The scientific committee will evaluate submitted abstracts based on the originality of the topic, the clarity of the used research methods and the presentation, under consideration of the diverse research aspects.

Abstracts will be accepted either for presentation in the form of a 15-minute talk, or a poster on display for the duration of the conference. All accepted abstracts (talks and posters) will be distributed in a booklet during the conference. A limited number of the accepted abstracts will be invited to develop their work into full research papers for publication in a book after the conference.

Call for Projects / Papers: “Design Agency within Earth Systems”, Architectural Association Symposium_Deadline 7th July 2018

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

8,000 metres above the sea level exists what climbers call the “death zone”. This altitude marks the limit for human habitation, above which our species cannot survive. We thrive in the “life zone” – the earth’s land surfaces and oceans, its geological layers beneath, the dynamic atmosphere above – all affected by gravitational magnetic forces beyond. This living world is constantly being transformed by our social, economic and political interactions revealing our intricate dependences on the earth and its systems. Terms such as “Anthropocene” and “Capitalocene” have drawn attention to the role of political economy in transforming these earth systems and positioned design as a major geological force shaping the planet.

Speakers for symposium include: Neil Brenner (UTL, Harvard GSD); Stuart Elden (Warwick University); El Hadi Jazairy and Rania Ghosn (Design Earth); Marti Franch (EMF Landscape Architecture) + more.

Deadline: 07 July 2018, for notification no later than the end of August 2018.

Successful applicants will be expected to cover their own cost for travel and accommodation.

Call for Papers: “CFP Land, Air, Sea: Environment during the Early Modern Period”, 72nd Annual International Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, Providence, Rhode Island, USA, April 24 – 28, 2019_Deadline 5th June 2018

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

CFP Land, Air, Sea: Environment during the Early Modern Period

72nd Annual International Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians

Where: Providence, Rhode Island, USA

When: April 24 – 28, 2019

Deadline for abstracts: Jun 5, 2018

Contrary to certain strands of scholarship, environmental thinking about ideas of climate, energy, and habitat were at stake several hundred years before the start of the twentieth century. This panel aims to explore how earlier practices concerning architecture and the environment preceded more modern concepts of environmental exploitation and the consequences of man-made interventions. We intend to understand how architectural practices were stoked by the extraction of natural resources during the early modern era. Construction in Venice, for example, meant the state was preoccupied with managing timber resources in the terra firma. During the Age of Exploration, European shipbuilding likewise led to the depletion of timber reserves in places including present-day Iceland, Portugal, and areas located along the Mediterranean. Such deforestation is also evident in practices in sixteenth-century New England by British and French pioneers and seventeenth-century Dutch East Indies traders, who ravaged the northern trees of Java.

Recent concepts of the Anthropocene have centered mainly on questions of sustainable design and technologies from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, ideas of the environment originating within the early modern period provide important markers of the pre-history of many of these developments in architecture and urbanism, both within Europe and in its colonial territories. We welcome papers from the late medieval period to the eighteenth century which outline how architectural practices in diverse habitats began to forecast some of the contemporary problems addressed today by environmentalists. How did the micro-climates in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania affect the architectural and urban development of settlements and coastal cities? Or how did industry drive the construction of buildings and infrastructure including factories, ports, shipyards, and trading depots? How was architecture impacted by state policies towards forest conservation and land management?

Session co-chairs: Jennifer Ferng, University of Sydney, and Lauren Jacobi, MIT

The 72nd Annual International Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians will take place on April 24-28, 2019 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Applicants must submit a 300-word abstract and CV through the online portal of the Society of Architectural Historians.

HistBEKE (Historic Built Environment Knowledge Exchange) Seminar Day Invitation, Friday 29th June, London

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

The HistBEKE project will very soon have a set of recommendations to send to Historic England for their agreement, following which they will be put into action.

We are keen to ensure that the heritage sector, including those in academia, is fully on board with these and that everyone has been able to have an input.

We would like to invite you, therefore, to a seminar day on Friday 29th June in London, either just to attend or to present a short paper. This seminar day is an opportunity to hear more about the HistBEKE project and how the framework will work, including recommendations for the knowledge exchange and research agenda. The future of the project will also be discussed, as well as how it can be used and further developed by everyone in the sector.

Topics for presentations may include, for example:

  • How you might make use of HistBEKE
  • Whether or not your own research agenda/priorities aligns with HistBEKE
  • Knowledge gaps and research themes that we might have missed
  • Knowledge gaps and themes that you might be able to fill (perhaps they could be used as a topic list for MA dissertations?)
  • Thoughts on the recommendations and any further suggestions
  • Guidance / publications / projects that might be added to the knowledge exchange
  • Areas for future collaboration

The key outcome from the workshops was that that HistBEKE should have two key elements:

  1. A Knowledge Exchange – a ‘one-stop-shop’ website that anyone can access for information on building types, conservation techniques, craft skills, materials etc. This will effectively be a Google-style search engine which will provide links/signposts to resources, many of which may well be on your website. This should be a wiki-style page that will be open access so that anyone can update it.
  2. A research agenda and strategy to fill any knowledge gaps and thus add to the knowledge exchange above. This should be ‘managed’ by a network/forum/stakeholder group rather than an open access wiki.

The other recommendations can all be found in the online survey that we are currently running to see how strongly everyone agrees them: https://survey.liv.ac.uk/Histbeke2018Survey.

The recommendations will not be finalised until after the seminar day, however, and all comments will be taken into account.

Please send your expression of interest to Stella Jackson by 31st May and let us know if you’d be able to attend on the 29th June, and if you would like to present a short (max 20 minutes) paper.

Symposium “Postmodernism Now: Politics, Culture, Context” at Design Museum London _ Saturday 30th June, 11:00-18:00

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

Douglas Spencer, lecturer at the University of Westminster and the leader of the MArch Dissertation module, will be speaking at:

Postmodernism Now: Politics, Culture, Context

This symposium investigates the revival of postmodernism, and what it might mean for our current moment.

When: Saturday 30 June, 11:00-18:00

Where: Design Museum London

In this symposium, leading architects, designers, artists and critics reflect on the influence and legacy of postmodernism, and ask what the renewed interest in its ideals and values has to do with our own period of political and economic uncertainty.

Postmodernism emerged in the 1970s as the cultural response to the era’s shifting economic and political sands: the break with the mixed economy of the post-war years and the emergence of neoliberalism. This moment of flux was manifested in a culture that was colourful, ironic and self-aware. In contrast to the certainties of the post-war era, all became relative in an invigorating culture of permissiveness and free-floating signifiers.

The backlash began in the early 1990s when postmodernism began to be seen as an aesthetic aberration forever associated with reactionary politics, Thatcherism and the hyper-consumption it unleashed. Today, we are told that Postmodernism is back, with a slew of books, reappraisals, and a new generation of architects and designers advocating its principles of aesthetic pluralism, licentiousness and stylistic promiscuity. But what should we make of it?

This event has been organised alongside the exhibition ‘The Return of the Past: Postmodernism in British Architecture’, which is on at Sir John Soane’s Museum, 16 May – 26 August 2018.
