Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge : Vol. 4, Issue 08/2024: Prototypes as Instruments for Critical Practice

»Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on, and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the creation, constitution and transmission of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, procedures and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attentiveness to the architectural design and epistemologies of aesthetic practice and research.
»Prototypes as Instruments for Critical Practices«, issue 11/2026, edited by Hugo Mulder, Anne-Catrin Schulz, Filip Van de Voorde, and Isak Worre Foged, explores and documents prototypes as instruments and mediums that advance modes of collaboration and research methodologies, reaching across the academic and industry domains in architecture and engineering. The contributors uncover and showcase work that demonstrates an acute awareness of the urgency to slow down material and climate breakdown; work that critically engages with the frictions inherent in architectural and engineering practices.
