Synergies: Building Collaborations in Architectural Research

Zusatztext

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch)Architecture is, by definition, multidisciplinaryin design, in practice, and in research. However, genuine and productive collaboration across different disciplines is rarely a given. GAM 22 is dedicated to those synergies that succeed: when architects and material scientists explore new pathways toward carbon-neutral construction, when digital technologies, biological processes, or innovative recycling strategies become integral parts of architectural concepts, the result is more than the sum of individual contributions. GAM 22 brings together inspiring examples from research and practice that demonstrate how interdisciplinary collaboration can generate fresh impetus for our built environment. It is as a plea for the necessity of cooperationand a volume full of hope at a time when it is urgently needed.With contributions by Markus Bartaky, Nathan Fash, Jay Gilbert, Lukas Gosch, Urs Hirschberg, Asya Ilgün, Julian Jauk, Svenja Keune, Yinan Liu, Sophia Meeres, Olga Mesa, Saurabh A.
