Carolin Höfler & Matthias Karch (eds.): Recalls, Reconstructions, Projections: Time-Based Design Processes in Architecture, Munich: Sorry Press 2024. ISBN 978-3-910265-20-2
How can architecture and design intervene in challenging situations? How can they influence social dynamics and give rise to new forms of activity? What are the methods, tools, and media that it uses and what roles do they play in generating new knowledge?
Taking these questions as its starting point, »Recalls, Reconstructions, Projections« explores the potential of architecture and design to disrupt and transform existing systems and contexts by employing technical, aesthetic, and symbolic practices and visualization techniques. The development of new time-based media of investigation, imagination, and cooperation renders design eminently suitable for initiating actions of transgression, resistance, and collective participation.
Based on these considerations, the volume sheds light on design viewed as a critical spatial practice, knowledge creation, and form finding. The theoretical and practical contributions gathered here open up a variety of content-led and methodological approaches to the burgeoning field of media-cultural and architectural design research.
With text contributions by, among others, Carolin Höfler, Kassandra Nakas, Matthias Karch, and Philipp Reinfeld.
