NOVEMBER 13/14
Sheffield School of Architecture
call for contributions submission deadline: 10-09-2009 theme
format
ecology, n. 1 a. The branch of biology that deals with the relationships between living organisms and their environment. Also: the relationships themselves, esp. those of a specified organism.
This year, the annual theory forum at the Sheffield School of Architecture is prepared and organized by a group of M.Arch students. We aim to create a cross-disciplinary platform of events that stimulates activity, encourages discussion and develops theory between a diversity of disciplines.
b. Chiefly Sociol. The study of the relationships between people, social groups, and their environment; (also) the system of such relationships in an area of human settlement. Freq. with modifying word, as cultural ecology, social ecology, urban ecology.
The event will take the form of a 2-day evolving habitat of adaptable spaces with diverse talks, workshops and interventions. It will be held at the Crookesmoor Building, the temporary home of the Sheffield School of Architecture.
c. In extended use: the interrelationship between any system and its environment; the product of this. 2. The study of or concern for the effect of human activity on the environment; advocacy of restrictions on industrial and agricultural development as a political movement; (also) a political movement dedicated to this. COMPOUNDS attrib. Of or relating to ecological issues such as industrial pollution considered in a political context; spec. applied to various political movements (esp. in western Europe) which represent the environmental or ‘green’ interest. [OED Definition of Ecology]
What has this got to do with architecture? In architecture, ECOLOGY focuses on the impact of the built form on the environment and society. It recognises the importance of theoretical research as a foundation for development in everything from sustainable design to community development. theory forum 09 addresses the notion of ECOLOGY and architecture. How is ECOLOGY translated from other fields of research into architecture? Concepts of ECOLOGY vary between disciplines. Proposing ECOLOGY as a central theme around which to develop a common language, can a system of sharing and collaboration between the diverse fields of research and professions be created?
We invite proposals for 1. talks Individual or group papers regarding the theme of ecology in relation to architecture.
2. workshops Ideas and formats for workshops. These can involve coordination/ participation by the contributor, students and/or members of the general public.
3. interventions Interventions that can be integrated into event. These may take the form of exhibitions, artworks, data visuals, mappings, interactive displays, etc.
All proposals will be peer reviewed. A selection of contributions will be published in field: journal for architecture. www.field-journal.org
Research and theory should be recognised by professions of the built environment and consequently society. Is the sharing of knowledge in such a way the answer to the progression of research in academia?
submissions
theory forum 09 wants to explore how architecture engages with the concept of ECOLOGY. The forum aims to collate various methodologies and operations conducted by related disciplines, as well as divergent fields of research. The aim for the theory forum 09: ECOLOGY will be to become a testing ground through which a common language of ECOLOGY can be formulated.
