Conference: Constructions Matter 2010
PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
The building process, from start to finish, is an obscure blend of dualities and supplements. For example, the process seems to combine abstract visions and physical realities, a sense of aesthetics and economic constraints, multiple pasts and multiple futures, local conditions and general influences. The building process is often described as complex, uncertain and ambiguous.
Therefore it is not surprising that building an understanding of the building process requires a theorization sensitive to multiplicity, volatility and transience. How may this provide grounds for a generalized or shared approach?
The conference intends to provide a celebratory ground for sharing results of research projects that have the building process, or parts thereof, as their empirical focus. The conference is also an occasion for discussing what we may strive to know – and what cannot be illuminated through research studies and analysis.
