Architecture in Effect: Rethinking the Social in Architecture

The strong reserach environment Architecture in Effect developed from 2011-2017 theories and methodologies for critical interpretations and articulations of architecture in its cultural and socio-political context. Its activities were structured in four program areas defined in relation to particular theoretical problems and methodologies within the field of architectural interpretation: Critical Historiography, Material Conditions, Critical Projections, and Architects in Formation. Apart from a wide range of publications by individual participating researchers, as well as conferences and exhibitions, the environment produced a double volume summary anthology at Actar Publishers (publication year 2019).
