Schwab, M. (2013) ‘Introduction’, in Schwab, M. (ed.) Experimental Systems: Future Knowledge in Artistic Research. Leuven: Leuven University Press, pp. 5–14.

Schwab develops artistic research through the epistemology of experimental systems, treating knowledge as something generated inside materially organised situations rather than applied to them from outside. His pivotal concept is the epistemic thing: an initially indeterminate object whose significance emerges at the contact zone between graphematic space—material traces, operations and inscriptions—and representational space, where those traces acquire conceptual articulation. The methodological consequence is substantial. Research is not reduced to a single experiment or to the verification of a prior hypothesis; it depends on a system capable of sustaining iteration, contingency, attention and the appearance of questions whose answers are not yet known. Schwab retains the specificity of artistic practice while refusing a simple opposition between art and science, proposing instead a proximity-in-difference grounded in experimental labour. The bridge extends directly into history of science, practice theory and media epistemology, where instruments, traces and representational formats become active conditions for what can become knowable.

Schneider, T. and Till, J. (2009) ‘Beyond Discourse: Notes on Spatial Agency’, Agency in Architecture: Reframing Criticality in Theory and Practice, Spring 2009, pp. 97–111.

Schneider and Till recast architectural agency as the capacity to “act otherwise” within conditions that are neither fully chosen nor fully controllable. Their decisive move is to displace the architect from heroic authorship toward a distributed field of co-production in which expertise remains consequential but no longer monopolises authority. Spatial agency therefore names a temporal and political continuity between intention, material mediation, occupation and subsequent transformation. Methodologically, the essay joins critical theory to situated episodes of practice: critique matters only insofar as it can enter practical consciousness, negotiation, intuition and collective action. Power is correspondingly reformulated as the capacity to enable others to take control of their environment rather than as unilateral command. The argument makes a precise bridge from architectural theory to the sociology of agency and the politics of participation, while also anticipating relational accounts in which buildings, institutions, users and professionals form interdependent chains of responsibility rather than separable domains.

Palmer, Polk and Raviola give spatial precision to the organisational problem of transdisciplinarity through the concept of boundary spaces. These are intentionally staged settings in which heterogeneous actors meet to formulate and manage wicked problems, yet their in-between status generates dilemmas that cannot always be solved from within the collaboration itself. Their analytic framework distinguishes contextual, relational, process and transformation-related dilemmas and identifies three recurring tensions: mismatch, commoning and collaboration paradoxes. The critical insight is that paradox is situated in time and space; it cannot be reduced to a generic failure of cooperation. Boundary spaces therefore become diagnostic environments where institutional rigidity, uneven representation, divergent expectations and conflicting temporalities become visible. Methodologically, the paper combines planning studies, organisation theory and iterative transdisciplinary research. Its wider contribution lies in showing that the spatial production of collaboration is inseparable from governance. A boundary space is not merely where actors meet, but where differences are staged, mediated and made politically consequential.

Harris and colleagues relocate transdisciplinarity from a rhetoric of integration to a field of persistent institutional and interpersonal tensions. Their review draws on institutional logics to show that collaborative research is shaped by competing values: academic publication, societal impact, professional practice, commercial objectives, policy expectations and public legitimacy do not automatically align. The methodological significance lies in refusing the assumption that successful transdisciplinarity eliminates conflict. Instead, the ability to recognise, negotiate and work through tensions becomes a core competence. Soft skills, relationship-building, facilitation and long-term collaborative capacity are treated as structural elements of research rather than supplementary qualities. The paper’s iconic move is therefore to interpret friction as constitutive rather than accidental. This produces a bridge between sustainability science and organisational theory: transdisciplinary projects become arenas in which different institutional logics are temporarily assembled, negotiated and sometimes transformed. The field advances when these tensions are made explicit enough to become objects of collective work.

Pohl, C. and Hirsch Hadorn, G. (2007) Principles for Designing Transdisciplinary Research. Munich: oekom verlag.

Pohl and Hirsch Hadorn establish one of the clearest early operational grammars for transdisciplinary research. Their decisive contribution is to define transdisciplinarity not as disciplinary mixture but as a recursive process structured around complexity reduction, contextualisation, open encounters and reflexivity. The method is explicitly designed to connect scientific inquiry with life-world problems, distinguishing systems knowledge, target knowledge and transformation knowledge while repeatedly reformulating research questions in relation to actors and contexts. Recursiveness is central: problem definition, analysis and implementation are not successive sealed stages but mutually correcting moments. The work therefore gives transdisciplinarity an architectural structure in which participation, integration and contextual embedding can be designed rather than left to goodwill. Its importance extends beyond sustainability research because it offers a general model for research fields in which epistemic plurality, societal relevance and methodological openness must coexist. It bridges science studies, systems thinking and participatory research by making reflexivity itself an operational principle.

(2024) ‘Conceptualising boundary work activities to enhance credible, salient and legitimate knowledge in sustainability transdisciplinary research projects’, Environmental Science & Policy, 155, 103722. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2024.103722

Andrews and colleagues convert boundary work from a descriptive concept into an explicit operational grammar for transdisciplinary research. Their framework identifies twelve activities distributed across project phases and asks how each can strengthen credibility, salience and legitimacy in processes of knowledge co-creation. The important move is methodological: interdisciplinarity is insufficient if the interfaces between actors, expectations, languages and forms of evidence remain unmanaged. Boundary work names the labour of collective problem framing, mediation, synthesis, translation, relationship building and reflexive coordination through which heterogeneous knowledge can become usable without collapsing its differences. The paper thus relocates impact from the terminal dissemination of results to the continuous organisation of relations throughout research. It also makes visible an often hidden infrastructural layer: collaboration requires designed procedures, temporal allocation, facilitation and institutional support. The work bridges sustainability science, project governance and STS by giving conceptual precision to the intermediary operations through which scientific and societal actors construct shared yet contestable spaces of inquiry.

Albornoz’s review is valuable less as a summary of Re-Thinking Science than as an early critical registration of the conceptual instability produced by Mode 2 knowledge. He identifies the radical claim that science and society co-evolve, with context no longer functioning as an external setting for research but as a constitutive condition of knowledge production itself. The review also isolates the ambiguity at the heart of this thesis: Mode 2 oscillates between empirical description, institutional prescription and a broader cognitive transformation. Albornoz therefore restores a political problem frequently softened by celebratory accounts of transdisciplinarity—what conception of society, power and scientific authority is silently installed when contextualisation becomes the dominant epistemic principle? His conceptual operation is diagnostic: he tests a new model of knowledge against the social ontology it presupposes. The text bridges sociology of science, science policy and political epistemology by showing that changing the organisation of research necessarily changes the implied relation between institutions, publics and legitimate knowledge.

Cash and colleagues shift the problem of scientific relevance from the quality of isolated findings to the architecture of relations through which knowledge becomes actionable. Their decisive proposition is that effective knowledge systems must simultaneously negotiate credibility, salience and legitimacy: scientific adequacy, practical relevance and procedural fairness are not supplementary virtues but coupled conditions of use. The methodological operation is therefore institutional rather than merely epistemological. Communication, translation and mediation become forms of boundary work that organise exchanges between expert communities, decision-makers and heterogeneous publics while retaining differences in norms, evidence and authority. The paper’s enduring contribution lies in treating knowledge-action interfaces as designed systems whose performance depends on how boundaries are managed rather than erased. This approach provides a crucial bridge between science and technology studies, sustainability governance and later transdisciplinary research, where the production of knowledge increasingly appears inseparable from the infrastructures, procedures and social relations through which claims acquire public consequence.

Zhang and Zhang demonstrate that architectural representation changes systematically with platform affordance. Using Markthal in Rotterdam across TikTok, Instagram and Google Maps, they combine qualitative coding with computational analysis of text, images and video to show that each platform privileges a different spatial register. TikTok intensifies lived space through dynamic activity and personal experience; Instagram curates perceived space through visual selection; Google Maps foregrounds conceived and perceived space through ratings, reviews and practical feedback. The crucial theoretical move is to treat the platform not as a passive channel but as an intermediary whose technical features participate in producing the architectural object that becomes publicly legible. Methodologically, the study bridges media affordance theory with Lefebvrian spatial categories and multimodal data analysis. Its wider significance lies in urban media studies: architecture increasingly circulates through algorithmic environments that feed back into reputation, visitation, design decisions and public perception. The building’s mediated life becomes part of its operative spatial condition.

Iacovou and Artopoulos define the architecture exhibition as a performative medium that can reorganise the meanings contained in an architectural archive. Drawings, models and photographs are not treated as neutral documents of buildings but as partial representations capable of producing multiple histories when recombined through curatorial and digital operations. The key contribution is the concept of the exhibition as a discursive site of knowledge production: by “making public” a private archive, mediation changes what the archive can do socially and spatially. Methodologically, the paper combines curatorial practice, multimedia reconstruction and urban engagement, showing how archival research can generate new relations between historical material, host city and contemporary audiences. Its wider bridge lies between architectural history, digital humanities and exhibition studies. The exhibition does not simply communicate prior research; it becomes a research apparatus in its own right. This makes mediation consequential: the format through which architecture is made visible changes the narratives, publics and spatial questions that become possible.

García-García approaches St. Petri through an unusual archival object: a fragile folded-paper construction kept by Lewerentz during the building process. Rather than treating the object as marginal ephemera, the essay reads it as a condensed spatial proposition connecting origami, brick lamellae, structural balance, air, sound and bodily perception. Its theoretical contribution lies in demonstrating how a minor representational artefact can reveal architectural logic not fully available in conventional plans or photographs. The method combines archival discovery, model-making and close spatial interpretation, allowing apparently immaterial qualities—air movement, suspension, darkness, resonance—to become analytically legible. This produces a bridge between architectural history, material culture and artistic research: the archive is no longer only a repository of evidence but a site where latent operations can be reconstructed experimentally. Lewerentz’s paper object matters because it changes the scale at which the building can be understood, exposing a continuity between speculative gesture, constructional intelligence and atmosphere without reducing one to illustration of the others.

Seelow, A.M. (2024) ‘From “Beauty and Festivity” to “Accept the Reality”: the Comprehensive Modern Vision of the Stockholm Exhibition 1930 and Acceptera’, in Fleming, P. and Mill, P. (eds.) Essays from the 2nd International Symposium on the Architecture of Erik Gunnar Asplund. Zürich: ETH Zürich, pp. 20–39.

Seelow reads the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930 and the manifesto Acceptera as two coordinated media within a broader project of social modernisation. Architecture, exhibition, publication, industrial production and public argument operate together rather than as separate cultural outputs. The iconic idea is therefore not functionalism as a stylistic category but modernism as a distributed apparatus capable of translating a programme of social reform across buildings, interiors, commodities and text. Methodologically, the essay reconstructs the transfer of continental modernist ideas into a specifically Nordic field while showing how they were reformulated through Swedish institutional, economic and cultural conditions. This avoids treating Nordic modernism as either isolated regional essence or passive import. Its wider theoretical bridge is to studies of mediation and public culture: an architectural idea acquires force when it can circulate through multiple formats while retaining enough coherence to organise collective expectations. Acceptera becomes important not as commentary on architecture, but as one of the mechanisms through which architecture entered public reality.

This study of Juan Daniel Fullaondo identifies a productive split between drawing as projective instrument and drawing as autonomous thought. Fullaondo’s collages, fragments, washes and graphic accumulations exceed the normative obligations of architectural representation; they become a parallel intellectual practice in which ambiguity, autobiography, criticism and resistance remain active. The paper’s most important proposition is that drawing can carry architectural intensity without functioning as a direct precursor to construction. Methodologically, it reads graphic production through archival works and testimony while preserving the contradiction that Fullaondo himself did not equate this activity straightforwardly with “making architecture”. That tension is conceptually valuable: disciplinary proximity does not guarantee ontological equivalence. The wider bridge extends toward art theory and media philosophy, where drawing becomes a site for thinking rather than merely documenting form. The paper therefore complicates any simple hierarchy in which built work is primary and representation secondary, showing that a medium may generate conceptual force precisely by refusing direct translation into building.

Fleming, P.H. and Bergström, A. (2023) ‘Archival plans, alterations, and 3D laser scanning of Erik Gunnar Asplund’s Stockholm Public Library’, Architectural Research Quarterly, 27(3), pp. 209–222.

Fleming and Bergström treat the Stockholm Public Library not as a fixed canonical object but as an unstable evidentiary field reconstructed across archival plans, committee records, later alterations and contemporary 3D scanning. The central operation is epistemic translation: incomplete historical drawings are compared with subsequent physical change and with a new point-cloud record capable of documenting the building at unprecedented resolution. The paper shows that architectural knowledge is never simply recovered; it is produced through the coordination of heterogeneous representational regimes. A drawing records an intention, an alteration records use and institutional history, while laser scanning records present geometry without automatically explaining its provenance. Their combined method converts gaps in the archive into research questions rather than defects to be concealed. The wider significance lies in the relation between heritage studies, digital documentation and architectural history: new media do not merely preserve old buildings, but reorganise what can be compared, verified, taught and acted upon. Representation becomes an active instrument in the building’s continuing life.

Sandin, G. (2024) ‘Art, pictoriality and semiotics – a reflection on Göran Sonesson’s contribution to art theory’, Cognitive Semiotics, 17(1), pp. 87–101.

Sandin reconstructs Sonesson’s pictorial semiotics as a theory in which images are neither transparent windows nor arbitrary cultural codes, but structured perceptual events whose meaning depends on motivated relations between sign, object and embodied apprehension. Concepts such as secondary iconicity, picture object, picture subject and the sedimentation of impressions give the image an internal architecture: what is seen, what is represented and what is culturally recognised remain analytically distinct. The methodological contribution is especially strong because semiotics is returned to a lifeworld basis rather than reduced to taxonomic sign classification. Photography, film, fine art and architecture can therefore be compared without collapsing their differences. The wider intellectual bridge lies between phenomenology, cognitive semiotics and media theory: representation is understood as a perceptual relation that is materially and culturally organised. For architectural theory, this permits a precise account of why two media may depict the same building while producing different forms of attention, memory and recognition.

THE PROBLEM OF FRAGMENTED KNOWLEDGE: WHY TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH MUST RECONSTRUCT THE OPERATIONS THAT DISCIPLINES DIVIDE

The central problem addressed by this field is not insufficient knowledge but the fragmentation produced when the same consequential process is divided into separate disciplinary objects. Language studies may examine how something is named; epistemology how its truth is established; architecture how it takes material form; urbanism how it distributes access; environmental psychology how it is experienced; ecology how it modifies living systems; media studies how it circulates; archives how it becomes retrievable. Each description can be rigorous while the causal continuity connecting them disappears. A planning category makes this visible: it begins as language, becomes a classification, enters a database, acquires administrative force, modifies spatial possibilities, alters investment and eventually changes lived environmental conditions. The intellectual problem lies precisely in those passages. Contemporary research repeatedly suffers from conceptual inflation when travelling terms lose specificity; evidentiary discontinuity when claims change format without preserving assumptions; scalar disconnection when mechanisms operating at different levels are treated as equivalent; temporal compression when slow processes are judged through short cycles; and infrastructural invisibility when standards, formats and maintenance systems are mistaken for neutral supports. The transdisciplinary response is therefore not to accumulate perspectives but to reconstruct transformations. Translation itself must become observable because concepts mutate as they cross institutions and disciplines: resilience can become an instruction to endure, participation can shrink into attendance, evidence can collapse into an indicator. The field's distinctive object is consequently the passage through which concepts, evidence, material arrangements, technologies, institutions, experience and ecological processes transform one another. Fragmentation is overcome not by synthesis in the abstract, but by constructing precise, testable passages between forms of knowledge.

PERIPHERAL SPACES AS CRITICAL EVIDENCE — Urbanism · Geography · Visual Culture

 Peripheral spaces become critically legible when attention shifts toward overlooked routes, residual landscapes and ordinary infrastructures outside dominant centres, allowing urban structure to be read through what is usually treated as secondary.

Across these returns, Street UP and RUS Miami establish the proposition through two minor urban conditions: one intensifies attention to the street as a field of access and encounter, while the other uses reuse and collective practice to expose urban relations through residual material systems. The periphery therefore becomes evidence not because it replaces the centre, but because overlooked routes, materials and infrastructures reveal forms of urban organisation that dominant images often suppress.

Dewey, J. (1925) Experience and Nature. Open Court.

Experience is not a private mental theatre but the continuous transaction of organism and environment. Dewey dismantles the residual dualism that still treats experience as subjective residue and nature as external given. Precarious and stable phases interpenetrate; means and ends are phases of the same history. Knowledge is not spectator contemplation but the controlled reconstruction of relations that already constitute the situation. The methodological demand is to begin with the gross, macroscopic continuum of lived intercourse rather than with refined scientific products. Experience is therefore the medium in which nature becomes articulate and art becomes continuous with inquiry. This transactional ontology remains one of the most radical refusals of the subject–object split in twentieth-century philosophy.

Whitehead, A.N. (1929) Process and Reality. Macmillan.

Actual entities are the final real things; each is a process of prehension that appropriates the past into a novel unity. Relatedness is prior to quality. The creative advance of the universe consists in the becoming, the perishing and the objective immortality of occasions. Vacuous actuality is rejected; nothing exists in isolation from its relations. Speculative philosophy frames a coherent scheme adequate to the entire texture of experience. The categoreal scheme—actual entity, prehension, nexus, ontological principle—replaces substance with process. Consciousness and sense-perception appear late and unessential. The cosmos is a society of societies whose order is the mutual sensitivity of occasions.

HOW KNOWLEDGE BECOMES A TEACHABLE FIELD: CORPUS, VOCABULARY, RECURRENCE AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF COLLECTIVE INQUIRY

Knowledge becomes a field when its internal relations acquire enough coherence for other people to enter, navigate, criticise and extend them. Warburg demonstrates through the Mnemosyne Atlas that relational arrangement can itself produce knowledge without requiring a single linear hierarchy; Kuhn explains how shared problems, exemplars and standards make cumulative inquiry possible; Bourdieu reveals that intellectual fields are simultaneously structures of positions, legitimacy and institutional power; Haraway demands accountability for the situated conditions from which knowledge is produced; Luhmann shows how fields reproduce themselves through recurring communication. Taken together, these perspectives distinguish a field from a collection. Accumulation alone produces an archive; a field requires recurring distinctions, genealogical relations, methods of entry, teaching structures and mechanisms that allow one intellectual operation to generate another. A corpus therefore precedes a canon because sufficient density is needed before patterns, absences and meaningful hierarchies can become visible. Vocabulary must then discriminate mechanisms rather than merely brand them; references must expose intellectual dependencies; pedagogy must force tacit structures into communicable form; publication must make propositions available for retrieval and criticism; archives must preserve their transformations through time. Teaching becomes especially decisive because a concept that cannot be explained, compared or operationalised may conceal incoherence behind apparent sophistication. A field is thus not established by declaration, scale or institutional recognition alone. It emerges when concepts, evidence, practices and infrastructures begin to reproduce themselves with differentiation across research, teaching and publication. Its architecture should provide orientation without closure: sufficiently structured to permit cumulative work, sufficiently open to admit new cases, disciplinary perspectives, corrections and conceptual mutations.
