3 Why should architects write when what they do best is design?<br />
Session Chair: Pier Vittorio Aureli<br />
Head of the "The City as a Project" PhD Program, Berlage Institute, Rotterdam / NL<br />
The Project: If an architectural design is a solution to a specific problem, how can it<br />
simultaneously be the basis for broa<strong>der</strong>, theoretical reflection? Can knowledge<br />
generated in one situation be transferred to another? What are the findings can be taken<br />
away after years of work, what can be generalized and applied to future projects? What<br />
conceptual, verbal and visual tools are necessary to do so? Which exemplary forms of a<br />
“theoretical project” are there? This session is specifically interested in including<br />
practicing architects.<br />
4 Architecture, Fiction and other Stories<br />
Session Chair: Jane Rendell<br />
Professor in Architecture and Art, Director of Architectural Research, University College<br />
London (UCL) / The Bartlett, London / UK<br />
Stories. Cartoons. Fairy Tales. Satire: This session will explore the relationship between<br />
architectural knowledge and fiction. Why can fictional and other narrative-based<br />
approaches often tell us more about architecture than established forms of criticism,<br />
theory or history? Is it valid to posit that architectural projects too, in describing<br />
imaginary spaces, are forms of fiction? This session is specifically interested in including<br />
authors of fiction.<br />
