Architecture in Effect

Architecture in Effect: Rethinking the Social in Architecture is critically examining the role and agency of architecture in its cultural and socio-political context, e.g concerning professional roles and education as well as power relations within and of architecture. It engages in current global economical, ecological and socio-political crises and conditions of sustainability, integration, gender equality, welfare and care. The research environment responds to these challenges, and makes a significant contribution to the development of new theories and methodologies for critical interpretations and articulations of architecture. It combines critical theory with methodological and topical perspectives that emphasise the material, spatial and symbolic specificity of architecture. Architecture in Effect is contributing on an international level to the development of new theories and methodologies for furthering a critically and socially engaged architectural research, education and practice.
