In Situated Architectural Pedagogies of Co-making/-becoming, we are interested in those situated architectural pedagogies that specifically search for ways of co-making/becoming within the learning environment and beyond, and among human and other-than-human collectives. We would like to explore how educators and learners respond to sites of architectural practice, education and research with critical and ethical concerns. This event is a continuation of a series of others that we have collaborated in the context of SArPe: two educators' workshops; Stories of Situated Architectural Pedagogies in Istanbul and Engaged Learning in the Community University in Delft, three community-driven student workshops and a conference session called Commoning in Architectural Pedagogy. Like the previous events, this non-conference calls for educators and learners who would like to collectively create and share a non-competitive and caring environment, with the intention of disrupting the hegemonic pedagogical and academic canons. The non-conference participants will be invited to roundtable discussions, play sessions, and site visits over the course of 2 days. This event aims towards a book that speculates on the modes of co-making, co-becoming, co-authoring, and other enchanting socialities of collective imagining that dispute academic hegemony. We call for 300-word statements of interest from those educators and learners who have pedagogical experiences and experiments in such relations of co-making/becoming.
Possible threads of interest in situated pedagogies may stem in two varied areas: experimentation with and exploration of collective making (learning, teaching, researching, designing) ; while becoming a collective among other collectives and ethically responding to situations of collective making/becoming. We emphasise in both the situatedness of knowledge through experience.
