Digital Practice DR_SoM & ARENA Conference

Digital Practice
emerging possibilities in a shifting architectural profession

5th Annual Conference of ARENA (Architectural Research in Europe Network Association)
October 24 – 27 2019
Institute of Architecture and Media, TU Graz

The seventh session of DR_SoM (Design Research Series on Method) will take place at Graz University of Technology. This event is also the 5th Annual Conference of the Architectural Research in Europe Network Association (ARENA). For the third time DR_SoM focuses on architectural research in practice, but for the first time with an emphasis on the digital. In particular, we want to hear about projects and practices that see digital technology as a new way to think and conceive of design. For more information on the theme, please read the Call for Abstracts.

If you would like to participate in the session, please send a concise description of the work you want to present of no more than 200 words (and any additional graphic material, if required) to hirschberg@tugraz.at until 8 July 2019 for consideration by the panel.

Note that full papers are not required as we recognize work in progress. However, participants are invited to write an illustrated paper afterwards, for publication in a booklet dedicated to this DR_SoM session.
