The volume addresses the hybridisation of knowledge production
in space-related research. In contrast with interdisciplinary
knowledge, which is primarily located in scholarly environments,
transdisciplinary knowledge production entails a fusion of academic
and non-academic knowledge, theory and practice, discipline and
profession. Architecture (and urbanism), operating as both a
discipline and a profession, seems to form a particularly receptive
ground for transdisciplinary research. However, this specificity
has not yet been developed into a full-fledged, unique mode of
knowledge production.
In order to dedicate specific attention to transdisciplinary
knowledge production, this book aims to explore (new) hybrid modes
of inquiry that allow many of architecture's longstanding schisms
to be overcome: such as between theory/history and practice,
critical theory and projective design, the adoption of an external
viewpoint and a view-from-within (often under the guise of
bottom-up vs. top-down). It therefore offers the reader a mix of
contributions that elaborate on knowledge production that is
situated in the (architectural and urban) profession or practice,
and on practice-based approaches in theory."
