virtual conference Architecture Metaphor
Dear all, <br> <br>i would like to invite you to participate in the virtual conference <br>/Architectur_Metaphor/ that will take place from 5th to 7th November <br>2020, organized by the interdisziplinary LOEWE research project <br>Architectures of Order. <br> <br>Kind regards, <br> <br>On behalf of the organizing committee <br> <br>Stephanie Knuth <br> <br> <br>*Architecture_Metaphor*** <br> <br>*International conference: 5-7 November 2020*** <br> <br>We commonly and ubiquitously use architectural metaphors in both <br>everyday speech as well as various professional contexts. Yet we rarely, <br>if at all, register this connection when we talk, for example, about <br>software /architects/, thought /constructs/, /pillars/ of society, the <br>/architecture/ of the brain or the /façade/ a person puts up. At the <br>same time, metaphors also feature prominently in the fields of <br>architecture and urbanism, where they are being used for the development <br>of design concepts and provide useful means to communicate, discuss and <br>evaluate design features. Examples range from /crystalline/ buildings to <br>the /fabric/ of a city, but also include Le Corbusier’s infamous <br>description of houses as ‘machines for living in.’ <br> <br>/Architecture_Metaphor/aims to investigate the relationship between <br>architecture and metaphors from two angles. On the one hand, we want to <br>examine the relevance of metaphors in and for knowledge production <br>within the fields of architecture and urbanism and how they affect both <br>design practices as well as theoretical discourses. Yet, we are equally <br>interested in the capacity of metaphors as productive mediators in <br>processes of knowledge transfer between the fields of architecture and <br>everyday knowledges and between architectural and other professional <br>discourses, and an exploration of the metaphor’s potential as a lens <br>that allows us to zoom in and examine the involvement of architecture as <br>a cultural practice in processes of social ordering. <br> <br>This virtual conference is the first event organized by the <br>interdisciplinary LOEWE research project /Architectures of Order <br>/(www.architecturesoforder.org ) <br> <br>Please refer to our website www.architecture-metaphor.org <br>for the full conference program <br>and more information. <br> <br>Registration opens on 10 September 2020.
