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.
The BERKELEY PRIZE encourages undergraduate architecture students to expand their academic education by going into their communities and investigating how the built environment best serves and best reflects the everyday lives of those for whom we design.
