    TEACHING-LEARNING-RESEARCH: DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTS • Paper / Proposal Title: Innovation in research & education pedagogies: the Transitional Territories Studio three years’ experience on the North Sea • Author(s) Name: Luisa Maria Calabrese, Taneha Kuzniecow Bacchin • University or Company Affiliation: Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Department of Urbanism, Section of Urban Design • Abstract (300 words): This paper presents the educational approach embedded in research developed within the framework of the Transitional Territories graduation Studio at the Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. Transitional Territories is a cross-domain research and design studio working on the notion of territory as a constructed project across scales, subjects and media. In particular, the studio focuses on the agency of design in territories at risk between land and water (maritime, riverine, delta landscapes), and the dialectical - or inseparable - relation between nature and culture. At the core of the Delta Urbanism Research Group (Section of Urban Design), the studio is embedded within/and supported by the interdisciplinary TU Delft Delta Futures Lab, working in close collaboration with the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and Technology, Policy and Management (TUD). Delta Urbanism is an interdisciplinary research program at the Delft University of Technology, which investigates the possibilities to combine flood protection, soil and water

  • Common Ground Participants
    Common Ground Participants The selection of participants for this year’s Biennale evolved in response to the Common Ground theme. We began with a desire to emphasise shared ideas over individual authorship, and realised that this required us to initiate dialogues rather simply make a selection of individuals. We began by asking a limited group of architects to develop ideas that might lead to further invitations: everyone was asked to propose a project along with a dialogue that reacted to the theme and showed architecture in its context of influence and affinity, history and language, city and culture. The final list of contributors demonstrates a rich culture of difference rather than a selection of edited and promoted positions. We want to emphasise the common ground that the profession shares, notwithstanding the apparent diversity of today’s architectural production. The sharing of differences is critical to the idea of an architectural culture. (David Chipperfield) 1. Group: 4. Adam Caruso 13178 Moran Street Peter St. John CARUSO ST.

Christine Murray, Editor of Architects’ Journal, commented: “I’m delighted to announce this year's shortlist, which includes the women behind the celebrated Library of Birmingham, the new Stonehenge development and the Giant's Causeway visitor centre. The awards celebrate design excellence and leadership -- qualities needed to succeed as an architect -- and especially among women, who are under-represented in the construction industry.” 2014 Woman Architect of the Year Shortlist: 1.
