Situated Architectural Pedagogies of Co-making/-becoming

In Situated Architectural Pedagogies of Co-making/-becoming, we are interested in those situated architectural pedagogies that specifically search for ways of co-making/becoming within the learning environment and beyond, and among human and other-than-human collectives. We would like to explore how educators and learners respond to sites of architectural practice, education and research with critical and ethical concerns. This event is a continuation of a series of others that we have collaborated in the context of SArPe: two educators' workshops; Stories of Situated Architectural Pedagogies in Istanbul and Engaged Learning in the Community University in Delft, three community-driven student workshops and a conference session called Commoning in Architectural Pedagogy. Like the previous events, this non-conference calls for educators and learners who would like to collectively create and share a non-competitive and caring environment, with the intention of disrupting the hegemonic pedagogical and academic canons. The non-conference participants will be invited to roundtable discussions, play sessions, and site visits over the course of 2 days. This event aims towards a book that speculates on the modes of co-making, co-becoming, co-authoring, and other enchanting socialities of collective imagining that dispute academic hegemony. We call for 300-word statements of interest from those educators and learners who have pedagogical experiences and experiments in such relations of co-making/becoming.

Call for Abstracts and Papers "Vesper" no. 14 (The Will to Knowledge)

Michel Foucault, in La volonté de savoir (1976), described how the mechanisms of the examination of conscience belonging to the pastoral tradition of the 17th century progressively extended to all areas of society, marking the threshold of a biopolitical modernity. Here, the 'will to knowledge' is not the subject's drive for research, but the injunction to bring into the field of knowledge-power those borderline domains of life that had been previously excluded from it: death, birth, sexuality. This process of the adherence of knowledge to bodies entirely invests our time and urges us to reflect on the figures of the 'will to knowledge' in the new millennium: the questions of surveillance, of the constant and widespread mapping of life in its social and biological dimension, of ubiquitous visibility, of the collapse of the limits between inside and outside, between inside and outside of work, of wakefulness, of private life, are explored by artistic and design forms.
'The will to knowledge' also carries a more straightforward, primary meaning: here we encounter the sphere of the desire for knowledge and its challenges, a theme constantly evoked today – above all, that of finding orientation within a hypertrophic labyrinth of information. Thus, a few years after Foucault's work, we encounter another text on the inexhaustible drive towards knowledge, its infinite resources of seduction, its lethal traps. With The Name of the Rose (1980), Umberto Eco constructs a thriller whose origin lies in the will to knowledge, with a book at its centre and, surrounding it, the desire of the aspiring initiates in opposition to the strenuous defence mounted by the custodians of tradition.
The 'will to knowledge' evokes both the symbol of infinity, to express the limitless scope of knowledge, and the labyrinth, to indicate its intricate structure and the countless possible paths through it.

Over the course of five days, participants will live and work on-site—where legendary performances by Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez once took place—spending their days fabricating, assembling, and installing large-scale works, and their evenings immersed in cultural programming, including concerts, exhibitions, and pop-up events.

The Architect’s Stair / Edition #2

The stair is one of the most elemental and enduring components of architecture. It is a structure in motion—a connector of levels, a sculptural form, a spatial sequence, and a symbol of ascent, descent, and transition. It guides the body and engages the mind. It is at once practical and poetic.

Assemble!

The ecological crisis demands a building sector operating within planetary boundaries. But significant structural barriers block the road. Over two action-packed days, you’ll gain the tools, strategies, and narratives to overcome them.

Our shared goal is clear: create a building sector that operates within planetary boundaries and ensures a thriving future for both people and planet. Systemic change can’t happen in silos.

That’s why Assemble! brings together architects, engineers, economists, developers, legal experts, and practitioners to rethink the regulations, ownership models, and design processes that quietly define our cities.

Assemble! is a structural experiment, a policy rehearsal, and a launchpad for bold
