Doctoral Education in Architecture
The importance of innovation and technology today brings with it a need for change in the definition of doctoral education, in the training of researchers, doctoral research itself, and in the dissemination areas targeted by doctoral theses. In Europe, doctoral education is the focus of wide-ranging reform in order to achieve coherence in higher education. Doctoral Education in Architecture: Challenges and Opportunities deals with a topic on which there is currently little literature available. While there are a considerable number of publications on doctoral education in general and in country-specific contexts, field-specific publications are rare. This book contains data obtained from a pilot study set up by the editors on \"The Nature and Structure of Doctoral Studies in Architecture\", as well as excerpts from a workshop based on this study, held at Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Architecture. It includes excerpts from the discussion sessions and contributions on contexts, conditions, and problems in architectural schools in several European countries. This volume provides an overview and insight for future challenges for doctoral education in the field of architecture. Contributors include: Gülsün Sağlamer; Fatma Erkök; Gary Moore; Kemal Gürüz; Hans Beunderman; Murray Fraser; Stefan Simion; Katalin Marótzy; Vilma Hastaoglou-Martinidis; Georgios Papakostas; Constantin Spyridonidis; Olivier Masson; Jean Stillemans; Pelin Dursun; and Philip Ursprung.

Lefebvre for architects
\"While the work of Henri Lefebvre has become better known in the English-speaking world since the 1991 translation of his 1974 masterpiece, The Production of Space, his influence on the actual production of architecture and the city has been less pronounced. Although now widely read in schools of architecture, planning and urban design, Lefebvre's message for practice remains elusive; inevitably so because the entry of his work into the Anglosphere has come with repression of the two most challenging aspects of his thinking: romanticism and Utopia, which simultaneously confront modernity while being progressive. Contemporary discomfort with romanticism and Utopia arguably obstructs the shift of Lefebvre's thinking from being objects of theoretical interest into positions of actually influencing practices. Attempting to understand and act upon architecture and the city with Lefebvre but without Utopia and romanticism risks muting the impact of his ideas. Although Utopia may seem to have no place in the present, Lefebvre reveals this as little more than a self-serving affirmation that 'there is no alternative' to social and political detachment. Demanding the impossible may end in failure but as Lefebvre shows us, doing so is the first step towards other possibilities. To think with Lefebvre is to think about Utopia, doing so makes contact with what is most enduring about his project for the city and its inhabitants, and with what is most radical about it as well. Lefebvre for Architects offers a concise account of the relevance of Henri Lefebvre's writing for the theory and practice of architecture, planning and urban design. This book is accessible for students and practitioners who wish to fully engage with the design possibilities offered by Lefebvre's philosophy\"-- Provided by publisher.

Research - Observe - Make
2008 entwickelte das Institut für Kunst und Architektur der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien eine neue Basis für die Ausbildung. Man schuf fünf Forschungsplattformen: Analogue and Digital Production (ADP), Ecology Sustainability Conservation (ESC), History Theory Criticism (HTC), Geogra-phy Landscape Cities (GLC) und Construction Material Technology (CMT). Die zuletzt genannte Plattform CMT wird von Michelle Howard geleitet; sie hat dort das Unterrichts-Programm Research Observe Make (ROM) etabliert. Die Publikation ROM dokumentiert dieses Programm und bildet gleichzeitig die Basis für die künftige Entwicklung. Sie besteht aus fünf einzeln lesbaren, jedoch komplementären Büchern, die in einem Band zusammengefasst sind. Nach einer Einleitung und einer theoretischen Reflexion werden die Forschungsprojekte „Elemente“, „Raum“ und „Material“ vorgestellt. Das letzte Buch dokumentiert Workshops, Vorträge und Experimente.Ein anregendes Lesebuch mit vielen Fachbeiträgen und kreativen studentischen Projekten.
In 2008, the Department of Art and Architecture at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts developed a new basis for the architecture curriculum. They created five research platforms: Analogue and Digital Production (ADP), Ecology Sustainability Conservation (ESC), History Theory Criticism (HTC), Geography Landscape Cities (GLC) and Construction Material Technology (CMT). The CMT platform is lead by Michelle Howard; who used the platform to explore the Research Observe Make (ROM) teaching studies. The ROM publication documents this program of studies and also forms the basis for future development. It comprises, assembled in one volume, five complementary books, which can also be read individually. After an introduction and an exposé on theory, the \"elemental\", \"spatial\" and \"material\" projects are introduced. The last book documents workshops, lectures and experiments.An inspiring compendium with numerous expert contributions and creative student projects.

Interviews : insights and introspection on doctoral research in architecture
\"With the continued growth of PhD programs in architecture and the simultaneous broadening of approaches, InterVIEWS: Insights and Introspection in Doctoral Research in Architecture begins a timely survey into contemporary research at academic institutions internationally, in the context of the expanding landscape of architectural inquiry. The eighteen interviews with scholars who direct or contributed to doctoral research programs in areas of architecture history and theory, theory and criticism, design research, urban studies, cross-disciplinary research, and practice based research, expose a plurality of positions articulating a range of research tactics. Renowned scholars narrated the stories, the experiences, and the research that shaped and are shaping doctoral education worldwide, providing an invaluable knowledge resource from which readers may find inspiration for their work. InterVIEWS acknowledges the diversity in approaches to research to evidence meaningful differences and the range of contributions in academic institutions. The relevance of this self-reflection becomes apparent in the exposition of vibrant and at times divergent viewpoints, that offer a thought-provoking opportunity to consider the openness and breadth of a field that is unrelenting in redefining its boundaries along with the probing questions\"-- Provided by publisher.

Entwerfen Erforschen
Der architektonische Entwurf und seine Methoden werden wiederentdeckt. Insbesondere die entwurfsbasierte Forschung (Design-based Research) steht im Zentrum des internationalen wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Aber wie konkret sieht eine Forschung aus, die das Entwerfen nicht mehr nur erforscht, sondern mittels Entwerfen stattfindet?Auf der Basis der Sprechakttheorie und aktueller Performativitatsdiskurse haben die Herausgeberinnen Angelika Schnell, Eva Sommeregger und Waltraud Indrist an der Akademie der bildenden Kunste Wien Lehre und Forschung verknupft, um herauszufinden, was Design-based Research tatsachlich sein und leisten kann.Das Buch zeigt das aktuelle Potenzial des performative turn\" in der Architektur anhand der Forschungsergebnisse von Studierenden verschiedener Entwurfsstudios am Institut fur Kunst und Architektur. Sie werden durch Textbeitrage der Herausgeberinnen sowie von Elke Krasny, Maximilian Muller, August Sarnitz und Claudia Slanar erganzt: sie analysieren das entwerfende Forschen\" in seinem wissenschaftlichen Kontext.

The promise of elsewhere
\"In this comic novel, our hero, Midwesterner Louie Hake, tries to prop up the failing prospects of happiness in his career and marriage by setting out abroad on what he calls his Journey of a Lifetime. Louie is 43, teaches architecture at a third-rate college in Michigan, and faced with a collapsing second marriage and a potentially disastrous medical diagnosis, he decides to undertake a high-minded tour of the world's most spectacular architecture sites: Italy, Turkey, India, Japan. But Louie gets waylaid--ludicrously, spectacularly so. After a stab at a new romance with a jilted bride alone on her honeymoon in London, he somehow winds up in the high Arctic, where the architectural tradition seems sad and laughable. (Turf houses? Corrugated aluminum sheds?) But it turns out there's another sort of architecture at play here--ice bergs the size of cathedrals--bobbing beside a strange and wondrous landscape. As it slowly grows clear, Louie's Grand Journey is a trip through his much-bungled romantic past. Whether pursuing by email his estranged present wife (co-habiting with a sexy playwright in the Virgin Islands), or his first wife (newly engaged to someone else), or an older woman he kissed once a quarter-century ago, Louie is both ridiculous and touching. A novel that is both funny and moving, a serious look into the Midwestern soul in crisis\"-- Provided by publisher.

Re: Futures
Hani Rashid, Mitbegründer des visionären New Yorker Architekturbüros Asymptote, leitet seit 2011 das Studio Hani Rashid in Wien. Das Programm zielt auf die Entwicklung konzeptueller und praktischer Fähigkeiten zur Schaffung zukunftsgerichteter Architektur: auf die experimentelle Untersuchung ihrer atmosphärischen, phänomenalen und optischen Effekte und Wirkungen, die intelligente Antworten auf gegenwärtige Fragen des Lebensraumes geben, sich zugleich aber einem \"Machbarkeitsnachweis\" unterziehen. „Re: Futures\" dokumentiert anhand von Texten, digitalen Visualisierungen und deskriptiven Architekturskizzen die in den letzten Jahren entstandenen Arbeiten und entfaltet so ein Spektrum von zeitgenössischen Entwurfsmethoden und zukunftsgerichteten Themen in der Architektur.
Hani Rashid, co-founder of Asymptote, the visionary New York architectural practice, has been heading up Studio Hani Rashid in Vienna since 2011. The curriculum focuses on the development of conceptual and practical skills for creating future-oriented architecture – on experimental investigation of atmospheric, phenomenal, and visual effects, which provides intelligent solutions for contemporary forms of dwelling and being but which should also satisfy \"feasibility criteria\". \"Re: Futures\" uses texts, digital visualizations and descriptive architectural sketches to document the work created over recent years, and thereby reveals a spectrum of contemporary design methods and future-oriented architectural themes.
