RECALLS – RECONSTRUCTIONS – PROJECTIONS
Time-Based Design Processes in Architecture
Editors: Carolin Höfler and Matthias Karch
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.
The volume explores the potential of architectural design to disrupt and transform existing systems and contexts through the use of technical, aesthetic and symbolic practices and visualization techniques. By developing new time-based media of exploration, imagination and cooperation, design is ideally suited to initiate actions of transgression, resistance and collective participation.
The publication presents a selection of case studies, conceptual sketches, architectural designs, performative realisations and built structures by students of Univ. Prof. Matthias Karch at the IMD _Institute of Media and Design.
