Situated Architectural Pedagogies of Co-making/-becoming
19-20 September 2025
In this event, we are interested in situated architectural pedagogies that specifically seek ways of co-making/becoming within the learning environment and beyond, among human and other-than-human collectives. We would like to explore how educators and learners approach situatedness in architectural education with critical and ethical concerns.
Possible threads of interest in situated pedagogies may stem in two varied areas: experimentation with and exploration of collective making (learning, teaching, researching, designing); while becoming a collective among other collectives and ethically responding to situations of collective making/becoming. We emphasise in both, the situatedness of knowledge through experience. Those threads may be: – Collective ways of building knowledge in the architectural design education – Cultivating response-ability in architectural practice through pedagogy – Making human and other-than-human kinships in architectural learning – Feminist architectural pedagogies that embrace making and thinking with – Caring situated pedagogies – Collective sociality of sharing a working space/laboratory in the architectural design education – Co-authoring in writing/researching on experiences of situated pedagogies
