Conference: CONSTRUCTIONS MATTER
CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
The building process, from start to finish, is a nicely confusing 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 understood as complex, uncertain and ambiguous. It is therefore not surprising that building an understanding of the building process requires theorization which is 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 from research projects that have taken 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 known through research studies and analysis.
CONFERENCE THEMES The conference is organized around a number of themes, each forming a conference within the conference. The list of themes is non-exclusive, and papers on other issues and questions are invited as well. The list will be updated as other themes are suggested:
• Architectural Competitions
• Strategizing and Performance in Construction
• Sustainable effort in big infrastructural project
• Articulation work in building design
• Defective Construction– defective learning
• Successful construction
• Projects and firms in the construction industry / Construction and business.
• Sustainable construction
• Markets and business cycles
