abstract = {The sixteen texts published in this volume are versions of
papers or posters presented at the conference
”Constructing Knowledge – Das Wissen der Architektur“
held on November 5 and 6, 2009 at RWTH Aachen University,
Germany. The conference was organized on the occasion of the
launch of the peer-reviewed Candide. Journal for
Architectural Knowledge, published by the RWTH’s
Department for Architecture Theory. A key goal of the
conference was to further the discussion around methods of
knowledge production in architecture, both in the academy
and in practice. To this end, the call for papers framed
four questions: (1) What is architectural knowledge?; (2) Do
we search for or do we generate architectural knowledge?;
(3) Why should architects write when what they do best is
design?; and (4) Architecture, fiction, and other stories.
More than one hundred authors submitted abstracts. These
were blindly reviewed by two peers each, and on the basis of
these comments, we, the conference organizers, put together
four panels, each addressing one of the four topics. In
addition, a number of authors were invited to present their
work in the form of a poster. A lively and sustained
discussion between the audience, speakers, and moderators
characterized the event. The diversity of the work discussed
– from dissections of the structure of encyclopedias in
architecture, to analyses of the architectural design
process through sociological theory, to the reading of a
poet’s work through the eyes of an architect – was
both the conference’s strength as well as a reminder of
the fact that the question of architectural knowledge merits
closer and more detailed investigation in future
conferences. A selection of papers presented at the
conference were revised by their authors and have been
published in Candide issues 2 (07/2010) and 3 (12/2010). All
other authors of papers and posters were invited to submit
their work for inclusion in proceedings and many did. We
hope these contributions spur further debates within the
vast site of explorations and questionings on architectural
knowledge.},
