Das Schreiben wird in der Gegenwartsarchitektur zu einem immer wichtigeren Bestandteil der Architekturpraxis: Architektinnen und Architekten experimentieren mit neuen Formen des Schreibens, um architektonische Entwürfe und gebaute Formen zu konkretisieren oder Leitlinien und Paradigmen zu generieren und zu diskutieren. Selbst literarische Texte wie utopische Erzählungen, Comics oder Stadtromane eröffnen der Architektur imaginative Raumkonzeptionen, die über rein geometrische oder funktionale Prinzipien hinausgehen. GAM.11 Archiscripts versammelt aktuelle Positionen und Analysen der vielfältigen Ausdrucksformen und Praktiken des architektonischen Schreibens und Publizierens. Mit Beiträgen von Pedro Gadanho, Jimenez Lai, Martino Stierli, Bernard Tschumi, WAI Think Tank, Julia Weber, u. v. a
Interdisciplinarity has seemingly become a paradigm for modern and meaningful research. Clearly, the interdisciplinary modus of deliberation enables to unfold relevant but quite different disciplinary perspectives to the reflection of broader scientific questions or societal problems. However, whether the comprehensive results of interdisciplinary reflection prove to be valid or to be acceptable in trans-disciplinary terms depends upon certain preconditions, which have to be fulfilled for securing scientific quality and social trust in advisory contexts.The present book is written by experts and practitioners of interdisciplinary research and policy advice. It analyses topical and methodological approaches towards interdisciplinarity, starting with the current role of scientific research in society. The volume continues with contributions to the issues of knowledge and acting and to trans-disciplinary deliberation. The final conclusions address the scientific system as substantial actor itself as well as the relevant research and education politics.
