Practices in Research

 

"Practices in Research" is an annual online open access double-blind peer-reviewed journal for practice-based research in architecture, complying with the DOAJ guidelines. The journal invites practising architects to explore the role of their practice in their research and vice-versa. For details on the journal, please scroll to the bottom of the page.

Practices in Research #04 - CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

"What do architects do for free, which is not asked for explicitly? What drives them beyond the expectations inherent to their mandate? What is the motivation of their work? Which implicit or explicit duties?? Dispositions and inclinations in their designing? Reflections and inspirations that feed their design practice? This space beyond the mandate, the freedom or the unexpectedness in responding to the expectations, is what moves any reflective or inquisitive practice.

(...)

PiR 04 – “Beyond the Mandate” is looking for contributions exploring this field of motivations which nourish the freedom of proposition. The contributions are expected to investigate this space while staying close to the practice, its documents and outcomes."

Short abstracts to be submitted before the 2nd of December 2022

Practices in Research #03 - Explorations&Cartographies

The third issue of Practices in Research is a project of the interuniversity research group In Practice, supported by ULiège, KU Leuven and ULB. ‘In Practice’ invites practicing architects to explore the multiple ways in which architects can engage the professional practice in academic research and reciprocally. ‘Practices in Research #03 - Explorations&Cartographies’ broadens the work intiated in the first and second issues, increasing the diversity approaches, subjects and profiles.

Practices in Research #01 - First Steps and False Alarms

Practices in Research #01 First Steps and False Alarms contains four invited contributions of practicing architects who engage their practice in academic research.The album ‘First Steps & False Alarms’ (Kilgour, 1995) assembles recordings from the artist’s home tape archive, proposing to discover his creative starting points, his explorations and experiments from a period of five years, shaping a musical personality. Similarly, ‘Practices in Research #01’ does not make a priori assumptions about distinctions between realisations from the practice and theoretical reflections. As such it is an experimentation: it poses questions and situations, it proposes answers and actions.
