  CALL FOR PAPERS: Design and Research in Architecture Reflexive Design
13-15 June 2013 

Symposium on Design and Research in Architecture
Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Sciences, Leibniz Universität 
Hannover

'Reflexive Design' defines a research agenda for architecture that 
explicitly addresses the growth of knowledge as an intrinsic part of 
the design process. The realized project, often predominant in both 
architectural discourse and practice, obscures the actual relevance of 
thought in the process of architectural design.



This process interactively comprises the continuous growth of implicit and explicit knowledge that precedes and exceeds the single project. This process 
shapes the attitude that includes styles of thought and approaches to 
architecture as well as the designers' personal ideals and values. This 
process also generates a growing body of knowledge on how to implement 
ideas and concepts into the design project. ‚Reflexive Design' is a 
research area that relates to every conceivable scale and involves the 
entire cycle of analyzing and documenting, as well as devising, 
contriving, refining, imparting, implementing, etc.

What current approaches and issues do participants identify within the 
research area 'Reflexive Design'? What practices promote the work on 
design-related research projects? What forms of thought and 
opportunities for action relevant to either design or science are 
specifically addressed? What perspectives do both the design process as 
a complex method and design-related media as means of communication 
open up beyond the disciplines of architecture and urban design? What 
individual and collective aims are involved in various forms of applied 
and theoretical design re-search? 
The range of topics includes comprehensive theoretical and 
methodological issues, disciplinary self-assurance and practical 
application in architecture and urban design. Beyond that, further 
in-terest lies in global and local spaces and cultures as well as in 
transdisciplinary themes and dis-course, in many cases at the interface 
between research, teaching and practice.

Opening presentations are intended to gather preliminary findings, 
specify terms and concepts and point out potential research questions. 
Common aspects of the symposium are further developed in a workshop in 
more pragmatic and experimental ways. Participants are encouraged to 
share expe-rience, knowledge and issues, and together to evaluate, 
discuss and network in open and informal talks. In short lectures, 
dissertation projects will be presented and reflected in their academic 
con-text.

Abstracts (max 300 words, German or English) and short CV are to be 
submitted to m.buchert@igt-arch.uni-hannover.de by 24 April 2013.
