Creative Design Entries Needed to Change Single-Family Zoning

Architecture performs through bodies. Its
conceptualization entails choreographing
bodily movements. Drawings are spatial
scripts, to which bodies perform in
conformity, transgression, re-appropriation, or
indifference. Performances can be corporeal or
phenomenological, planned or spontaneous,
everyday or a singularity. They charge
architecture with vibrant energies disrupting
the exigencies and politics of built spaces.
The 10th issue of Room One Thousand,
“Body + Performance,” seeks for performance
to expand and challenge our understanding of
architecture and its impact. Performance can
be understood as an object, phenomenon,
commodity, or metaphor. The convergence
of architecture and performance captures
the corporeality, tactility, and sensuality of
a space. How can architecture be read
through the lens of performance? Who is the
performer, the building or the body? What
are the design implications of highlighting
the agency and plurality of bodies? What
happens when architectural practice shifts
from performance to production? How can
performance be a methodology in design?

Sophia Journal is currently accepting submissions on the theme of its third thematic cycle “Landscapes of Care”, addressing contemporary photography and visual practices that focus on how architecture understood in a wide sense can help to heal a broken planet. The concept of “Landscapes of Care” has increasingly been adopted by diverse areas of study, from health geography to the arts and architecture. It allows us to understand architecture, city and territory as living and inclusive organisms, constituted by multifaceted landscapes with complex social and organisational spatialities which embody the difference and the other, the strange, the unfamiliar, the indigenous, the human and the non-human. Our aim is to explore the ways in which the image can be used as a meaningful instrument of research about the multifaceted complex socioeconomic, political, historical, technical and ecological dimensions of architecture, city and territory that testify, question or emerge from those relationships of care.
