This paper explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and architectural sketching in the context of international travel experiences. Traditional hand-drawn sketches, once a medium for capturing and projecting architectural visions, have waned in the face of digital photography and social media's image-centric culture. To address this challenge, a one-week workshop was designed, leveraging AI text-to-image generation technology to document Rome as the chosen experiential site. By employing AI...

he establishment of an edge, of limits, or a periphery, is fundamental to architecture. It is the
foundation of the difference between the known and unknown, inside and outside, the zone of significant energy transfers, and the making of ‘place.’ The term ‘placemaking” may be a cliché, but there is an essential truth in the concept that makes it worth re-evaluation and definition in the context of current...

Laboratories, as enclosed architectural-material spaces, are defined by clear physical boundaries. However, the knowledge produced within them is universal, transferable, and subject to transformation. This paradox is reinforced by models and apparatuses, which not only facilitate the expansion of knowledge but also enable the translation of the given world into data, or conversely, the materialization of data into physical reality. Laboratories possess an inherent capacity for knowledge production,...

As the effects of the climate emergency and dwindling planetary resources force a paradigm shift within architecture away from demolition and new construction towards renovation and adaptation of existing sites and buildings, it is becoming clear that both architectural practice and education will have to evolve and adapt to a context in which the vast majority of our built environment already exists. Any approach to designing with the past, however, cannot ignore how buildings embody both material and...

Experimental practice – ExP, a new master course in architecture at NTNU, Norway, starts with the premise that architectural design knowledge is not made from static, unvarying facts. It is not a commodity one can purchase and therefore own it in its primary, unchangeable form. On the contrary, it is owned only when experienced through practices that are experimental and as such open to infinite processes of enquiry and critical thinking; through letting the knowns shift and adapt to everchanging...

Working across disciplines is essential to tackle the complex global health challenges faced today. One such challenge is the proliferation of Aedes mosquitoes in recent decades, which has led to a significant and growing public health burden. According to the WHO, half of the world's population is at risk of contracting Aedes mosquito-borne viral diseases (MBVDs) such as dengue, and this is expected to rise as climate change expands the predicted geographic reach of these mosquitoes as far north as...

The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial connections within narrative space and gain insights into the perceptual and experiential processes of individuals in the context of architectural space as portrayed in the written word (movie scripts) and movie representations. The transformation of the subject's experience occurs while transitioning between textual and visual forms of space, due to inherent distinctions between the two mediums. The comprehension of the subject's encounter inside the realms...

his study explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in contemporary architectural design, particularly in reshaping the architectural montage concept. The primary objective is to understand how AI, as a design tool, influences and transforms the methods and styles of architectural design. The research explores different applications of AI in architectural design that include assisting in conceptual design, generation and imitation of architectural styles, architectural model rendering and...

his article sheds a critical light on the making of Danish school architecture year 2015-2020. It points to barriers in architects' practices and a discrepancy between the ideas of future school architecture and the conditions of teaching and studying in the school spaces. Philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvres' theory and concepts of space are used to investigate this discrepancy with the perspective of how school architecture is produced socially. Lefebvre’s social ontological stand and...

Architecture and urban design represent spatial conceptualizations at different, interlinked scales. Economic and social sustainability as part of the design concept requires user and community-based research to determine stakeholder habits and needs. One of the largest challenges in such research is collecting representative data, a challenge that was exacerbated by the lack of in-person research opportunities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pandemic forced research method adaptions for both...

The environmental, economic, and social changes in the last decades demand the readdressing of the city as an adaptable one defined through a network of interwoven relations rather than well-defined rigid structures. This intricacy forges the redefinition of accustomed design practices to manage the desired inclusive, adaptive, fluid, and responsive conditions of cities. However, incorporating these coexistences in defining urban conditions necessitates a multi-focal rendering of the associations and a...

This literature review explores the impact of classroom architecture on the educational success of secondary school students. It forms part of the work of the Schola research consortium, which aims to guide the renovation of Quebec's public primary and secondary schools. A key premise of this review is that the insights gained can inform the renovation strategies for Quebec's public schools, as outlined in the Quebec Ministry of Education's recent Educational Success Policy, which focuses on supporting...

The paper addresses the extra-disciplinarity of cultural-environmental research and design speculation as an area ripe for the critical engagement of globalized architectural education and practice. Students from different disciplines (architecture, planning, urban design, anthropology, engineering, and art) studied ongoing urban and spatial transformations occurring as climactic, socio-political, and economic pressures collide in Northern mega-regions. They focused on understanding...

Built environment education (BEE) presents an interdisciplinary field of education intended for children and young people. Besides fields of architecture, urban design, art, landscape architecture, etc., it includes different social aspects such as community engagement, culture, and heritage, thus being important not only for future architects but for every citizen. On the other hand, in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), the main topics of interest are key sustainability issues such as climate...
