The International Conference aims to discuss topics and methods in architectural research, focusing on their cross-disciplinary interrelations and their relevance to the design process itself. We are interested to see approaches to the development of a research culture in architecture. This conference will identify research topics and methods, encourages a research discourse and provides impulses especially for young researchers. The cross-disciplinary interrelations will be debated through invited keynote lectures, as well as presentations of papers and posters. The invited experts from academia and practice will showcase pioneering projects and developments from various fields of architectural research.
