Images/drawings of architecture primarily act as documentation of structures to help the audience (architects or clients) understand how architecture functions: the sense of space, physical relationship with the context, and circulation through different programs. Nevertheless, architectural images that focus not on functionally determine spaces but rather on an idea or provocation, also play a significant role in the representation of architecture. The role of architecture in these kinds of images can be beyond a shelter or accommodation. It can set up a stage to deliver messages; discuss historical, social, economic or political issues; or to express emotion or desire. Architects/artist have been using architecture images with perplexing spatial qualities as provocative, topical responses to actuality throughout history. For example, in the 18th century, Étienne-Louis Boullée sought to overthrow traditions of architectural drawings and use the drawings to celebrate the greatness of picture, the greatness satisfies human's soul and eager to extend its joys in every. In the 60s, Superstudio used a series of architecture collages to fight against market-driven architecture, and establish their goal to produce a system of infinite multiplications divisions and dimensions. Later on, Lebbeus Woods used his prominent drawings to evoke people's awareness of the provocative characteristic of architecture oppose to its retrospective presentation or documentation purpose. As a knowledge of base, this thesis project would research why and how the architects/ artists make the images in certain way to accomplish their expected effect by comparing the chosen images particularly on architects/artists' decision making on the scale of architecture pieces, not functionally determined spaces, materiality and pictorial perspective of the images and how these decisions result in different effect or affect. This thesis proposal is to call on the audiences (architects and non-professionals) to consider architecture's alternative role in architecture image beyond retrospective presentation. Also, to engage the audiences in awareness and discussion of the topical communication with the architects/artists. Based on the knowledge to set up a framework for this thesis project. What framework should be set to avoid documentation potentials of architecture? What to resist and or embrace to avoid the architecture image become functionally determined? And eventually, use this framework to produce images with speculative architecture on a ruin with potentially healing necessity as a mean to deliver personal desire of hope and joy and evoke personal responses from the audiences.

Architecture Depends presents an original thesis that brings social theory, including that of Zygmunt Bauman and Bruno Latour, to bear on architectural theory and practice. Drawing on theories of critical pedagogy, contingency, and reflective practice, it presents a new paradigm for architectural thinking, recognised by the 2009 RIBA President's Award for Research (prize for outstanding university-based research). Reviews include Blueprint, Architects' Journal; the Times Higher Education Book of the Week; features on Nightwaves (BBC R3), Thinking Allowed (BBC R4). Publisher's text about the volume: Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues with conviction in this engaging, sometimes pugnacious book, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Circumstances invariably intervene to upset the architect's best-laid plans—at every stage in the process, from design through construction to occupancy. Architects, however, tend to deny this, fearing contingency and preferring to pursue perfection. With Architecture Depends, architect and critic Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves: a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself. The everyday world is a disordered mess, from which architecture has retreated — and this retreat, says Till, is deluded. Architecture must engage with the inescapable reality of the world; in that engagement is the potential for a reformulation of architectural practice. Contingency should be understood as an opportunity rather than a threat. Elvis Costello said that his songs have to work when played through the cheapest transistor radio; for Till, architecture has to work (socially, spatially) by coping with the flux and vagaries of everyday life. Architecture, he proposes, must move from a reliance on the impulsive imagination of the lone genius to a confidence in the collaborative ethical imagination, from clinging to notions of total control to an intentional acceptance of letting go.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) long ago observed, "In the order of things it is found that one never seeks to avoid one inconvenience without running into another; but prudence consists in knowing how to recognize the qualities of inconveniences, and in picking the less bad as good." Given these complex conditions of engagement, it is critical that the relationship between architecture and health be revised. While perhaps partly responsible, architecture is not always capable of providing positive solutions for the environment or the "sick" body. Instead, a confused and anxious contemporary architecture struggles to produce new manifestations that avoid exalting the spectacle of capital of the last twenty years. While architecture is looking once again into the ambiguous political, cultural, moral, and, above all, social ideas of health and medicalization for both justification and a new mandate, it should seek to challenge – rather than pacify – the newly emerging neo-liberal agenda and question a medicalized vision and approach toward health issues.

" The pervasive proliferation of complex tracking systems such as GPS and simulation gaming environments such as Full Spectrum Warrior are transforming the built environment into an immersive 1:1 map where all flows and transactions are measured, monitored, and tracked. The gap between map and real experience disappears resulting in an immersive map. The spatial implications of this real time 1:1 immersive map creates an opportunity for architecture itself to monitor, track, and measure flows and transactions. This tracking and simulation agenda plays out specifically in the design of a surface that integrates military training, military artifacts, and civilian recreation into the MIL_CIV surface that modulates due to games, time of day, season, and participants acting on the site."

As we move further into the 21st century, architects, planners, landscape architects and the general public are increasingly concerned with climate change, environmental degradation, energy and water consumption and the role the built environment plays in contributing to or addressing these issues. Buildings consume almost 40% of the energy used in this country. The way we access buildings, the materials used to construct them, the demands of users within the building all require the earth's increasingly precious resources. So how did we get here? How did our built environment evolve to require so much energy, water and so many resources? It is easy to think that our environmental concerns regarding architecture's role in the environment are new to society. However, environmental worries are not new. This course explores the history of sustainable architecture with a look back to vernacular building styles and passive design strategies that addressed climatic factors. We will investigate the Industrial Revolution as it transformed buildings and transportation and study the varied responses to the degradation of the natural world through the Arts and Crafts Movement and writers and thinkers of the 19th century. We will contrast our study of early environmentalists and their ideas for the built environment with more mainstream efforts of architects and designers of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Frank Lloyd Wright and le Corbusier, to better understand the formation of architecture's historical cannon and the environmental outliers who critiqued the dangers of the 'Machine Age.' We will then explore more accelerated trends of the 1960s and '70s that paralleled the birth of modern environmentalism in the wake of exposés such as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. Finally, the course will conclude with an examination of recent ideas surrounding 'green' buildings such as LEED certification and the Living Building Challenge. Understanding the history of the built environment offers a powerful lens for understanding our environmental future. Such history shows us our mistakes and successes and will help us move forward thinking critically about how we can live in the future. "History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be." John Henrik Clarke The course will include guest speakers, lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays, and discussions about readings on Fridays (in Dickinson 109). There will be a mid-term and final, and two written assignments: one a short, written response and the second, a longer research paper.

Academia did San Luca later served model for the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture founded in France in 1648, and which later became the Académie des beaux-arts brought revolutionary development of the European architecture which lead to the development of philosophical schools over the world. The Industrial Revolution was a one of the pivoting points in human history and cultural. Idea of a professional architect with formal training and academic qualifications is a product of the 19th century, when architectural courses were instituted for the first time at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later at the Architectural Association in London in 1847. Developing academic qualification result in new trends of architectural theory that differentiates between a building and "a piece of architecture", which was about aesthetics and experience of architecture movement and impact of philosophical and intellectual basis for architecture education. The ever growing socio, economic and political interest among the intellectuals at the turn of the 19th century and the ever growing number of artists and architect embracing had resulted in new architectural trends away from wealthy clients. These trends were introducing an architecture that was meant to address working class and develop economical architecture that copes with them. These movements included: Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and the Bauhaus. In the United States of America, the Bauhaus principles revolutionized art education, previously dominated by the Beaux-Arts method. Bauhaus influence in education and in practice, the modernist movement flourished. The Bauhaus movement became responsible for the modern face of architecture in many of the American cities such as Chicago and New York. Chicago has been described as "row upon row of Mies vander Rohe buildings" By means of discussing the development of the different philosophical schools and relating them to different architectural movements and the architects who embraced these philosophical ideas ...

In his work State of Exception, the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has recently studied the consequences of the exception becoming the rule. He explains a situation where the law requires the partial exclusion of the legal order so as to preserve its legitimate character. It forms the basis of the so-called "spaces in suspension", where the rule is the exception in the form of the suspension of the legal order, the anomie. In those spaces the act of government is located in a threshold area of ambiguity between general and particular spheres. The transference of Agamben's concept into architecture is possible. There are physical scenarios where the norm is not a security shield since it is accomplished and questioned at the same time. What type of architecture is responding to those spaces in suspension? Is there a critical attitude boosted by those kinds of architectural practices? The paper approaches the topic through a theoretical contextualization of the idea of the state of exception in architecture. This approach is based on the analysis of some case studies, which are considered as disruptive practices since they are proposing new ways of practising architecture. They utilize strategies such as new interpretations of the law (urban prosthesis, occupation of public spaces), the replacement of the authorities' duties (occupation of public buildings and empty plots) or the proposal of new teaching practices. Their analysis let the authors define a specific context in architectural practice, which reflects a new paradigm called "architecture in suspension". ; Peer reviewed

Thermal standards exert an ever-increasing impact on architecture. Recent building legislation has begun to limit the spectrum of possible solutions to the extent that thermal standards considerably govern the concept, structure and form of buildings. The imperative to insulate building envelopes with little regard to maintaining a diversity of microclimates in the interior is just one prominent example. These developments can be traced to how thermal standards have been triumphed as a silver bullet by Western societies on their path towards energy transition and sustainable architecture. "Green goes mainstream" (Raymond J. Clark / Peter Ellis) has in particular seen a proliferation of thermal standards, regulations and labels. Agencies like the US-American LEED, the British BREEAM, the German Passivhaus or the Swiss Minergie, 2000-Watt Society, and SNBS offer certifiable solutions for thermal comfort in combination with the promise of sustainability in architecture and for cities. These "green-mainstream" standards are successors to the passive rationale of the bioclimatic architecture of the 1970s, promoting "the use of architecture as a primary energy device" (American Institute of Architects, 1978). Today, worldwide comfort in buildings increasingly relies on the import and export of thermal standards. This has resulted in their global circulation and a competition between the various agencies promoting them. However, such standards emerge out of specific local cultural circumstances and architectural traditions.

Technology of the 21st century is changing rapidly in the postmodern world of consumerism. As we move from industrial toward information epoch, built environment become precisely augmented with the trends of commercialization. The breakout of modernism brings up the Postmodernism in late 1970`s where urban space and architecture were faced with signs and symbols once again. Consumerism society was become a debatable issue in the 21st century. Changing trends in world by the means of globalization shaped society and public territory with the improvements in media and technology. Brand new dimension has been brought into urban zones with commercialization. Commercialization began to develop in physical and computerized ways and have begun to contribute disorderly in the built environment. Expansion of working with media causes to have cyberspaces with the utilization of media elements, for example, advertisements, board. Technological developments, and improvement of media and visual arts cause change in the direction of contemporary architecture with the globalization and domination of capitalism. Facades gain new media integrated skin to its external skins of buildings; and society who are the main user of the public space gained a new way of interaction through the media integrated cutting edge technology. Channing technological trends shape the formation of building façade. The main motivation of this thesis is to investigate essential ideas behind the utilization of advanced media facade on buildings. Extraordinary emphasis on innovation and visual media, it is intended to see how architecture is influenced and its advancement in postmodernism. Theoretical section is supported with cases from developed countries where media architecture is popular trend, other case is "1001 Airport Mall" selected from Nicosia, North Cyprus which is from 3rd world country with too many political problems. After theoretical examination, end of the study will create understanding towards the integration of media and architecture through its evolution and how building form and spatial organization is affected in architectural scale. Finally, changing urban space with the media architecture will be discussed. Keywords: Postmodernism, Media Architecture, Consumer Society, Augmented Surface & Hybrid Space, Visual Media ; ÖZ : 21. yüzyılın teknolojisi, Postmodern tüketim dünyasında hızla değişiyor. Endüstriyel çağında bilgi çağına geçerken, ticarileştirme trendleri ile yapılı çevre alanı tamamen artırılmış yüzeylerle donatıldı. Modernismin çöküşü ile 1970li yıllarda Postodernisimi gündeme getirerek, kamusal alan ve mimari bir kez daha simge ve semboller ile donandı. Tüketici toplumu 21. yüzyılda tartışılması gereken konu haline geldi. Globalleşme ile dünyada değişen trendler, medya ve teknolojinin gelişmesi ile birlikte toplumu ve kamusal alanı şekillendirdi. Kentsel alanın ticarileşmesi ile, yepyeni bir boyut kazanıldı. Ticarileşme, fiziksel ve bilgisayarlı ortamlarda gelişmeye başladı ve yapılı çevreye düzensizce katkı koymaya başladı. Medya alanında çalışmaların gelişmesi reklam, panolar gibi medya elemanları ile sanal gerçekliğin oluşması yol açtı. Teknolojik gelişmeler ve medya ve görsel sanat alanında ilerlemeler, globalleşme ve kapitalizmin baskınlığı ile çağdaş mimarinin yönünü değiştirmiştir. Bina dış cephesine yeni bütünleşmiş medya yüzeyi kazandırıldı ve kamusal alanın ana kullanıcıları olan toplum, yeni entegre edilmiş son teknoloji ile yeni bir etkileşim kazandı. Değişen teknolojik trendler bina cephesini şekillendirdi. Bu tezin ana motivasyonu, bina cephesinde kullanılan medya cephesinin ardındaki önemli düşünceleri araştırmaktır. Yenilikler ve görsel medya vurgusu ile, postmodern zamanında nasıl etkilenmiş olduğunu görmeyi amaçlar. Teorik bölüm, medya mimarisinin popular olduğu gelişmiş ülkelerden örnekler ile desteklenirken, diğer örnek bina ise 3. Dünya ülkesi olan ve politik problem yaşanan Kuzey Kıbrıs, Lefkoşa ilinde bulunan "1001 Airport Mall" binasıdır. Teorik incelemeler sonrasında, çalışmanın sonunda, medya ve mimarinin entegrasyonu ve gelişimi ile ilgili kavrayış sağlanacak ve mimari ölçekde bina formu ve mekânsal organizasyonuna olan etkileri tartışılacaktır. Son olarak, medya mimarisi ile değişen kamusal mekan tartışılacaktır.

La collection Open-A, éditée par le GAR asbl et la faculté d'architecture de l'Université de Liège, présente comme ambition majeure d'explorer le potentiel de réinterprétation lié à l'histoire et à la théorie en architecture. En d'autres termes, Open-A vise à parcourir les récits des époques antérieures, de construire de nouvelles associations, de faire émerger de nouveaux concepts, par le biais d'une relecture du passé en vue d'une description de l'état présent de l'architecture. Le premier tome de la collection, intitulé « Open Architecture », débute par la traduction d'une interview de Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers et David Van Severen, architectes de la jeune garde qui empruntent des nouvelles directions en termes de pratique par l'adoption dans leurs travaux d'influences puisées dans l'histoire, histoire qu'ils embrassent dans toute son étendue, posant ainsi les bases d'une approche de l'architecture que nous avons nommée « coexistentielle » qui se caractérise par l'omniprésence et la manipulation du passé dans le discours contemporain. Ce premier volume est en outre né à partir d'un cycle de conférences qui s'est étalé sur deux années, de 2017 à 2019, et qui regroupe des interventions de théoriciens, historiens et chercheurs de renom dans les domaines de l'histoire et de la théorie en architecture : Jacques Lucan, Dominique Rouillard, Roberto Gargiani, Catherine Blain, Dirk van den Heuvel et Véronique Patteuw. Ces conférences s'ancrent dans la période des années 1960 qui constitue une transition du modernisme au postmodernisme, à savoir une époque optimiste, politiquement engagée, florissante en imaginaires et en récits visuels, radicale dans sa pensée et dans la révolution qu'elle prônait. La volonté de revisiter cette période phare, de redécouvrir son héritage qui continue en outre à influencer le débat actuel, a indubitablement orienté la liste des conférenciers réunis dans ce premier tome. Aussi, de leurs interventions, à travers leur mise en parallèle, émerge le thème de la « forme ouverte » intrinsèquement liée à la notion d'« indétermination », deux enjeux qui s'opposent à l'unité formelle et à la composition déterministe promue par la doctrine héritée du modernisme. ; Peer reviewed

Ecole doctorale n° 454 « Sciences de l'homme, du politique et du territoire » ; Ce dossier d'habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) est composé de 3 volumes. Le premier volume comprend la motivation de la demande d'inscription à l'HDR, le CV et les références de l'auteur. Le second volume est composé d'une sélection d'articles présentés dans le cadre de l'habilitation à diriger les recherche, représentative du parcours de publication du chercheur dans trois domaines: 1 - Contribution à l'histoire des cultures constructives et des architectures de terre; 2 - Connaissance du matériau et des techniques; 3 - Méthodologie et état du savoir en conservation des patrimoines architecturaux en terre.Le troisième et dernier volume est composé de deux parties. La première partie intitulé "Parcours et synthèse des recherches du chercheur candidat à la HDR" présente toutes les étapes du parcours de l'auteur, depuis 1980, année où il a développé son diplôme d'architecte sur le sujet "Histoire et actualité de la construction en terre", jusqu'à l'année de soutenance de son HDR en 2007, soit sur 27 années. Dans la seconde partie "Article de synthèse inédit: Patrimoine et développement. Architecture de terre et développement durable", le chercheur propose un ensemble d'articles inédits qui lui permettent de problématiser la question de la conservation des patrimoines architecturaux en terre au prisme de la notion d'architecture durable. Il montre comment la réflexion collective à évolué, jalonnée par la succession de conférences internationales. Il relève l'importance de la conservation des villes bâties en terre pour une régénération durable des valeurs et des identités culturelles et pour l'avènement d'une modernité. Il montre comment l'Analyse du Cycle de Vie constitue une place de choix pour les cultures constructives de la terre crue et développe la notion d'Habitat d'Intérêt Culturel. Le volume se conclue sur une première proposition de déclaration de la signification culturelle des architectures de terre.
