4 The Constructed Environment constructedenvironment.com Dear Constructed Environment Delegates, Welcome to Krakow and to the Seventh International Conference on the Constructed Environment. Founded in 2010, the Constructed Environment Research Network its conference, journal, and book imprint is brought together by exploring human configurations of the environment and the interactions among the constructed, social, and natural environments. The Inaugural Constructed Environment conference was held at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, Italy in November The conference has since been hosted at University Center in Chicago, USA in 2011; at UBC Robson Square in Vancouver, Canada in 2012; in partnership with the Lisbon Architecture Triennial at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal in 2013; at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA in 2014; and at the University of Arizona in Tucson, USA in Next year, we are honored to hold the conference at Wayne State University in Detroit, USA. Conferences are ephemeral spaces. We talk, learn, get inspired, and return to home and workplace. Conference conversations fade. To revive them, this Research Network supports a range of publishing modes in order to capture these conversations and formalize them as knowledge artifacts. We encourage you to join CG Scholar, submit your research to The International Journal of the Constructed Environment, or even submit a book proposal to The Constructed Environment Book Imprint. In partnership with our Editors and Network Partners, The Constructed Environment Research Network is curated by Common Ground Research Networks. Founded in 1984, Common Ground Research Networks is committed to building new kinds of knowledge communities, innovative in their media and forward thinking in their messages. Common Ground Research Networks takes some of the pivotal challenges of our time and builds research networks which connect horizontally across legacy vertical knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university these are deeply important questions of our time which require many kinds of thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for people, ideas, and dialogue. However, the strength of ideas does not come from finding common denominators. Rather, their power and resilience comes from being presented and tested in a shared space where differences can meet and safely connect differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. These are the kinds of vigorous and sympathetic academic milieus in which the most productive deliberations about the future can be held. Common Ground Research Networks strives to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves. Thank you to everyone who has put such a phenomenal amount of work into preparing for this conference. I d particularly like to thank my Constructed Environment Research Network colleagues, including Patricija Kirvaitis, Jessica Wienhold-Brokish, and Amanda Sabo, who have put such a significant amount of work into this conference. We wish you all the best for this conference, and we hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the globe. Yours sincerely, Homer (Tony) Stavely, PhD Host, Common Ground Research Networks Prof. Jacek Karol Gyurkovich Dean, Faculty of Architecture Cracow University of Technology, Kraków, Poland Cracow University of Technology Faculty of Architecture Kraków, ul.

5 About Common Ground Our Mission Common Ground Research Networks aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative research networks and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media. Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations of discipline, professional association, institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds research networks that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and crossinstitutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves. Our Media Common Ground creates and supports research networks through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host research network). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book imprints offer fully-refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The research network also maintains an online presence through presentations on our YouTube channel, quarterly newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works.

7 The Constructed Environment Research Network The Constructed Environment Research Network is brought together by a shared interest in the role of the constructed environment. The community interacts through an innovative, annual face-to-face conference, as well as year-round online relationships, a peer reviewed journal, and book imprint. Conference The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism, Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging practitioners and scholars, who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage, to discuss key issues in the field, and to build relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines. Publishing The Constructed Environment Research Network enables members to publish through two media. First, network members can enter a world of journal publication unlike the traditional academic publishing forums a result of the responsive, nonhierarchical, and constructive nature of the peer review process. The International Journal of the Constructed Environment provides a framework for double-blind peer review, enabling authors to publish into an academic journal of the highest standard. The second publication medium is through the book imprint, The Constructed Environment ; publishing cutting edge books in print and electronic formats. Community The Constructed Environment Research Network offers several opportunities for ongoing communication among its members. Any member may upload video presentations based on scholarly work to the research network YouTube channel. Quarterly newsletters contain updates on conference and publishing activities as well as broader news of interest. Join the conversations on Facebook and Twitter, or explore our new social media platform, Scholar.

8 The Constructed Environment Themes Addresses the ways in which the built environment is conceptualized, competing interests negotiated, and plans represented Theme 1: Design and Planning Processes Design disciplines and practices in transition: architecture, engineering, industrial design, landscape architecture Science in the service of technology Information, design, and modeling technologies Town and regional planning Local government in the planning process Transportation modes and structures: reconfiguring flows Parks in urban spaces Designing interior spaces Information flows in the constructed environment Virtual space and real space Form and function in space: how aesthetics relates to function Project planning Inclusive design: design for human needs, sensitive to human differences, affirming rights to access Involving stakeholders: participatory design Consultation, negotiation, and consensus building in the (re)design of the constructed environment Aesthetic paradigms: classicism, modernism, postmodernism, constructivism, and other isms Examining the processes of constructing buildings and creating landscapes Theme 2: Building Processes Building construction Landscape construction Spaces and sites of construction: urban, greenfield, rural, remote From design studio to construction site: design and project planning Project management processes and practices Construction activities, processes, and flows Time cycles, process transparency, quality management, and efficiencies Efficiencies: prefabrication and modularization The construction of access to wild spaces Building and construction regulation

9 The Constructed Environment Themes Exploring questions of sustainability in the constructed environment Theme 3: Environmental Impacts Materials, construction, and environmental sciences Helping structures change, grow or end their useable lives adaptations, renovations, and recycling Green construction, sustainable building practices LEED and other environmental certifications Energy sources and destinations: reconfiguring grids Water needs and sources: refiguring demand and access Natural movements: floods, droughts, earthquakes, and other acts of nature Waste creation, transportation, and recycling or disposal Determining footprints: environmental impact analyses Investigating the social life of constructed environments Theme 4: Social Impacts Functions of construction: housing, commercial, public, community Habitats: home, work, civic, business, natural Spatial cultures: the ethnography of space Cultural diversity and the built environment Gender and the built environment Disabilities and corporeal differences in the built environment Heritage values and practices in design, architecture, and construction Addressing inequality and poverty in the built environment The global and the local: applying human and material resources Values, ethics, and aesthetics in environmental decision making Leadership and management in the constructed environment Education and training for workers in the constructed environment Values and ethics in the constructed and natural environments Research and evaluation methods in the constructed environment Law and regulation in and for the constructed and natural environments Human resources and workforces in the building and environment sectors Needs assessment and analysis Social impact analyses

10 The Constructed Environment Scope and Concerns Construction Functions How does the constructed environment relate people to spaces through built forms? In one sense, the functions of construction are visceral, arising from one of the most elemental needs of our species, the need for shelter. In another sense, they involve some of the most elaborate forms of artifice varieties of materials, complex engineering, infrastructures of technical interconnection, relationships to nature, and an infinite variety of functions to meet the endless range of human interests and proclivities. Constructing Aesthetics Broadly conceived, the aesthetic is disposition, so what of the sensibility, orientation, stance of the constructed environment apart from or, in addition to, function? Form follows function, proclaimed the modernists of the twentieth century. However, others have said before and since that aesthetics is a distinct domain of representation, not necessarily or entirely determined by function. Even when form follows function, there is an aesthetic. Even when we might claim an aesthetic is a travesty, or that there has been no attention to aesthetic, the aesthetic nevertheless persists. Environmental Footprints How is the built environment in dialogue with nature? The built environment is inevitably in dialogue with nature. Nature provides its material sources. And the built environment invariably articulates with nature whether that relationship is carefully premeditated or casually circumstantial. Construction has an impact; it creates a footprint in its environment. In our century, concerns for the relationship of humans to environment increasingly deploy the rubric of sustainability. Is a practice environmentally profligate or prudent? Articulation with the environment has become one of the fundamental concerns of our times. Human Impacts How can a constructed environment be designed and made in such a way that it best serves the panoply of human needs? As a human construction, our various design and fabrication practices shape our lives. The physical forms they leave a humanistic legacy. However, our human experiences and interests are irreducibly diverse. So how does a constructed environment affect different people differentially? How can it be sensitively appropriate to their varied needs? How can it be inclusive? How can potentially negative impacts be anticipated for some people and in some environmental contexts? How can risks be reduced and negative impacts mitigated?

15 A Digital Learning Platform Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first, positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been presented to them. Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, How am I doing? Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance. A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University of Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative writing assessment data. The following Scholar features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their membership. Please us at support@cgscholar.com if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes with participation in a Common Ground conference. Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication. Publish student works to each student s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion. Create and distribute surveys. Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard. Scholar is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform it transforms learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal social knowledge relationships. For more information, visit:

16 The Constructed Environment Journal Aiming to be a definitive resource on human configurations of the environment and the interactions among the constructed, social, and natural environments

17 The Constructed Environment The International Journal of the Constructed Environment About The International Journal of the Constructed Environment publishes broad-ranging and interdisciplinary articles on human configurations of the environment and the interactions between the constructed, social, and natural environments. The journal brings together researchers, teachers, and practitioners. The resulting articles weave between the empirical and the theoretical, research and its application, the ideal and the pragmatic, and spaces which are in their orientations private, public, communal, or commercial. As well as papers of a traditional scholarly type, this journal invites presentations of practice including experimental forms of documentation and exegesis which can with equal validity be interrogated through a process of peer review. This might, for instance, take the form of a series of images and plans, with explanatory notes which articulate with other, significantly similar or different and explicitly referenced places, sites, or material objects. Indexing Art Source (EBSCO) EBSCO Polytechnic Studies Collection: India Environment Complete (EBSCO) Environment Index (EBSCO) The Australian Research Council (ERA) DOI: / /CGP Founded: 2010 Publication Frequency: Quarterly (March, June, September, December) Acceptance Rate: 18% (2015) ISSN: (Print) (Online) Network Website: constructed environment.com The International Journal of the Constructed Environment is peer-reviewed, supported by rigorous processes of criterion-referenced article ranking and qualitative commentary, ensuring that only intellectual work of the greatest substance and highest significance is published. Editor Reviewers Cidália Ferreira Silva, Lab2PT, School of Architecture, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal Articles published in The International Journal of the Constructed Environment are peer reviewed by scholars who are active members of The Constructed Environment Research Network. Reviewers may be past or present conference delegates, fellow submitters to the journal, or scholars who have volunteered to review papers (and have been screened by Common Ground s editorial team). This engagement with the Research Network, as well as Common Ground s synergistic and criterion-based evaluation system, distinguishes the peer review process from journals that have a more top-down approach to refereeing. Reviewers are assigned to papers based on their academic interests and scholarly expertise. In recognition of the valuable feedback and publication recommendations that they provide, reviewers are acknowledged as Reviewers in the volume that includes the paper(s) they reviewed. Thus, in addition to The International Journal of the Constructed Environment Editors and Advisory Board, the Reviewers contribute significantly to the overall editorial quality and content of the journal.

You can view the status of your article at any time by logging into your CGPublisher account at www. CGPublisher.com. 4. When both referee reports are uploaded, and after the referees identities have been removed, you will be notified by and provided with a link to view the reports. 5. If your article has been accepted, you will be asked to accept the Publishing Agreement and submit a final copy of your article. If your paper is accepted with revisions, you will be required to submit a change note with your final submission, explaining how you revised your article in light of the referees comments. If your article is rejected, you may resubmit it once, with a detailed change note, for review by new referees. 6. Once we have received the final submission of your article, which was accepted or accepted with revisions, our Publishing Department will give your article a final review. This final review will verify that you have complied with the Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition), and will check any edits you have made while considering the feedback of your referees. After this review has been satisfactorily completed, your paper will be typeset and a proof will be sent to you for approval before publication. 7. Individual articles may be published Web First with a full citation. Full issues follow at regular, quarterly intervals. All issues are published 4 times per volume (except the annual review, which is published once per volume). Submission Timeline You may submit your article for publication to the journal at any time throughout the year. The rolling submission deadlines are as follows: Submission Round 1 15 January Submission Round 2 15 April Submission Round 3 15 July Submission Round 4 (final) 15 October Note: If your article is submitted after the final deadline for the volume, it will be considered for the following year s volume. The sooner you submit, the sooner your article will begin the peer review process. Also, because we publish Web First, early submission means that your article may be published with a full citation as soon as it is ready, even if that is before the full issue is published.

19 The Constructed Environment Common Ground Open Hybrid Open Access All Common Ground Journals are Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers. Hybrid Open Access means some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. Authors may do this because open access is a requirement of their research-funding agency, or they may do this so non-subscribers can access their article for free. Common Ground s open access charge is $250 per article a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access competitors and purely open access journals resourced with an author publication fee. Digital articles are normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you choose to make your article Open Access, this means anyone on the web may download it for free. Paying subscribers still receive considerable benefits with access to all articles in the journal, from both current and past volumes, without any restrictions. However, making your paper available at no charge through Open Access increases its visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open Access articles also generate higher citation counts. Institutional Open Access Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access. Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles each year. The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level Green. For more information on how to make your article Open Access, or information on Institutional Open Access, please contact us at support@cgnetworks.org.

20 The Constructed Environment Journal Awards International Award for Excellence The International Journal of the Constructed Environment presents an annual International Award for Excellence for new research or thinking in the area of human configurations of the environment and the interactions between the constructed, social, and natural environments. All articles submitted for publication in The International Journal of the Constructed Environment are entered into consideration for this award. The winning article is selected from the ten highest-ranked articles emerging from the review process and according to the selection criteria outlined in the reviewer guidelines. Award Winner, Volume 7 Caryn Brause, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA For the Article Strategic Additions: Reconsidering Architecture s Stepchild Abstract In architectural circles the single-family house is a cherished commission: the renovation of or addition to an existing home, its poor step-child. There is reason to challenge this bias within the discipline. At present, there are almost 130 million dwellings in the United States; alterations to these dwellings constitute a $300 million annual industry. Neighborhoods formed by existing housing stock are frequently location efficient. Retrofitting the existing building stock presents an unprecedented opportunity to address embodied energy simultaneously with energy efficiency. The scale of the impending transformation suggests the need to enlarge the disciplinary discourse to consider these commissions both pragmatically and imaginatively. This paper documents a design research project that examines retrofit design vocabularies. A reference neighborhood with early twentieth-century building stock was studied using tax records to identify original construction dates, sizes of homes, and retrofit status. From this data, transformation patterns were extracted and a design investigation was pursued to investigate one optimization strategy within the context of four typical housing retrofits. In doing so, the study explores how viewing existing housing stock through the lens of embodied energy and location efficiency invigorate design and alter the reception and implementation of these projects within the discipline.

25 The Constructed Environment Book Imprint In Pursuit of a Living Architecture: Continuing Christopher Alexander s Quest for a Humane and Sustainable Building Culture Kyriakos Pontikis and Yodan Rofè (eds.) ISBN Pages Network Website: constructed environment.com Bookstore: theconstructedenvironment.cgpublisher.com Since his very first published work in 1961, Christopher Alexander pursued an architecture of enduring comfort and beauty, inventing the idea of pattern and pattern languages, describing order in nature and the built environment, and insisting on the importance of process for the formation of wholeness. In the chapters of this book, former students and collaborators of Alexander continue to explore the central concepts of his approach, connecting them explicitly to the urgent need for a more sustainable energy- and resourceconscious building culture. The book s three parts address this challenge at three levels. The first part is devoted to conceptual perspectives, addressing craftsmanship and intelligence in design, placing Alexander s work in the context of current philosophical thought and examining its potential contribution to the Green Building Movement. The second part addresses the methodological development of the pattern language approach over the last twenty years, with particular attention to aspects of sustainability in urban design, building, teaching, and research. The essays in the third part reflect on built projects, ranging from small neighborhoods to buildings and interiors, showing how these illustrate the concepts and themes recurrent throughout the book. This book represents the greater movement of which it is a part, one dedicated to pursuing a practice of architecture that has at its core a concern for human well-being and the continued care of our shared environment. Through their manifold and diverse contributions, its authors show that a truly sustainable architecture must also be humane, and that a truly humane architecture is fundamentally sustainable. Editor Bios: Kyriakos Pontikis, architect and Professor of Interior Design at California State University, Northridge. His courses and research focused on humane and sustainable design and architecture. He had over twenty years of professional experience in Europe and the US. Professor Pontikis passed away in Yodan Rofè, Senior Lecturer of Urban Planning and Design at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, whose interests include building processes and settlement structure, urban form and movement, accessibility and equity, and public space and street design. He was a founder and board member of the Movement for Israel Urbanism.

26 The Constructed Environment Book Imprint Cultural Sustainability and Changing Worldview: Dilemmas of Architecture and the Built Form Faida Noori Salim Network societies will never replace traditional communities. In today s evolving global culture, the issues of cultural sustainability, identity, and belonging are being challenged. At the heart of this challenge is the difficulty of individuals spatial and social assimilation. Looking back, architecture and the constructed urban form have always faced dilemmas that continue to challenge communities. Thus, the challenge facing the traditional mechanisms of belonging is an urgent matter and is presented as a dilemma due to the transitional nature of today s time period. Individuals as users and as architects need to rediscover the secure home and place, without which no community can be sustained. ISBN Pages Network Website: constructed environment.com Bookstore: theconstructedenvironment. cgpublisher.com This book discusses Baghdad as an example of a city whose cultural stability was challenged over a short period of time, and should serve as a reminder to other cities of the importance of stability and belonging. The flow of information affects the flow of people s inner space, which can no longer be thought of as internally controlled, and architecture should be aware of such changes and the dilemma it creates for the occupation of space. It concludes that architecture and the built form cannot afford to continue on its current path if society aims at sustaining its cultural and social capital. This is especially evident in the fact that architecture is closely linked to power, which has an important role in the stability of communities and their cultures. The role of iconic architecture s transition to sovereign architecture plays an important role in changing the norms of the built form and asserting new rules. Thus, the role of the architect s responsibility becomes increasingly important, and the question of good faith and freedom becomes central in relation to the ethical role of the architect and architecture in the social system.

27 The Constructed Environment Book Imprint Structural Elements for Architects and Builders: Design of Columns, Beams, and Tension Elements in Wood, Steel, and Reinforced Concrete, 2nd Edition Jonathan Ochshorn ISBN Pages Network Website: constructed environment.com Bookstore: theconstructedenvironment. cgpublisher.com Concise but comprehensive, Jonathan Ochshorn s Structural Elements for Architects and Builders explains how to design and analyze columns, beams, tension members, and their connections. The material is organized into a single, self-sufficient volume, including all necessary data for the preliminary design and analysis of these structural elements in wood, steel, and reinforced concrete. Every chapter contains insights developed by the author and generally not found elsewhere. Appendices included at the end of each chapter contain numerous tables and graphs, based on material contained in industry publications, but reorganized and formatted especially for this text to improve clarity and simplicity, without sacrificing comprehensiveness. Procedures for design and analysis are based on the latest editions of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction (AF&PA and AWC), the Steel Construction Manual (AISC), Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI), and Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI). This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition of Structural Elements includes an introduction to statics and strength of materials, an examination of loads, and new sections on material properties and construction systems within the chapters on wood, steel, and reinforced concrete design. This permits a more comprehensive overview of the various design and analysis procedures for each of the major structural materials used in modern buildings. Free structural calculators (search online for: Ochshorn calculators) have been created for many examples in the book, enabling architects and builders to quickly find preliminary answers to structural design questions commonly encountered in school or in practice. Author Bio: Jonathan Ochshorn is a registered architect with an academic background in structural engineering and urban design as well as architecture. Prior to joining the faculty at Cornell University in 1988, he served as associate director of the City College Architectural Center, a research center supplying technical assistance to community groups in New York City. His publications include studies on tapered insulation, column buckling, building failures, the relationship of design theory to technical practice, and strategies for teaching structures to architects. His teaching specialties in the Department of Architecture at Cornell University are in the areas of construction technology and structures.

28 The Constructed Environment Book Imprint The Impact of Globalisation on Architecture and Architectural Ethics Faida Noori Salim ISBN Pages Network Website: constructed environment.com Bookstore: theconstructedenvironment. cgpublisher.com The development of globalisation, both economically and financially, has promoted the flow of both information and people. Globalisation is seen as an outcome of advancing communication technology and the development of the Internet, which subsequently encouraged international interdependence and the compression of time and space. This book is devoted to answering the question: In what way does the impact of globalisation affect the role of architecture, and how should it be interpreted ethically? This book argues that the ethical evaluation of the role of architecture should be linked to architecture s natural ethical responsibility to form a relationship with a culture. Today, iconic architectural forms and celebrity architects lead the innovation/transformation process, while the ordinary practice of architecture leads the innovation/stabilization process using the differentiation/integration dynamic. Architectural theory advances the use of the interpretation/reinterpretation dynamic in architecture, which helps to destabilise meaning in architectural language. When this theory is transcribed to real world architecture, it can result in the alienation of the physical horizons of cities and thus in the alienation of its citizens.

29 The Constructed Environment Conference Curating global interdisciplinary spaces, supporting professionally rewarding relationships

30 The Constructed Environment About the Conference Conference History Founded in 2010, the International Conference on the Constructed Environment is held annually in different locations, selected for the way each raises specific kinds of questions about the nature of architecture, landscape, and human habitation. The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum which brings together researchers, teachers, and practitioners to discuss the past character and future shape of the built environment. The resulting conversations weave between the theoretical and the empirical, research and application, market pragmatics and social idealism. In professional and disciplinary terms, the conference traverses a broad sweep to construct a trans-disciplinary dialogue which encompasses the perspectives and practices of: architecture, anthropology, business, design, economics, education, engineering, environmental design, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, sociology, town and regional planning, and transportation. Past Conferences Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, Italy University Center, Chicago, USA UBC Robson Square, Vancouver, Canada Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA University of Arizona, Tucson, USA Plenary Speaker Highlights The International Conference on the Constructed Environment has a rich history of featuring leading and emerging voices from the field, including: Kathryn H. Anthony, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA (2010) Winka Dubbeldam, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA (2014) Beatrice Galilee, Lisbon Architecture Triennale, Lisbon, Portugal (2013) Sally Harrison, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA (2014) Aaron Levy, Slought Foundation, Philadelphia, USA (2011) David Mayernik, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, USA (2010) Jeffery S.

31 The Constructed Environment About the Conference Past Partners Over the years the International Conference on the Constructed Environment has had the pleasure of working with the following organizations: Close, Closer Lisbon Architecture Slought Foundation, University of Arizona, Associated Project, Triennale, Philadelphia, USA (2014) Tucson, USA (2015) Lisbon, Portugal (2013) Lisbon, Portugal (2013) Become a Partner Common Ground Research Networks has a long history of meaningful and substantive partnerships with universities, research institutes, government bodies, and non-governmental organizations. Developing these partnerships is a pillar of our Research Network agenda. There are a number of ways you can partner with a Common Ground Research Network. Contact us at support@constructedenvironment.com to become a partner.

32 The Constructed Environment About the Conference Conference Principles and Features The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the research network: International This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries and locations. But more importantly, The Constructed Environment Conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 25 countries are in attendance, offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe. Interdisciplinary Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged. Inclusive Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this research network and conference, regardless of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher, policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that is created and shared by this community. Interactive To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.

33 The Constructed Environment Ways of Speaking Plenary Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Conversation. Garden Conversation Garden Conversations are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a circle of chairs to be placed outdoors. Talking Circles Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions like Who are we?, What is our common ground?, What are the current challenges facing society in this area?, What challenges do we face in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area? may guide the conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates final discussions during the Closing Session. Themed Paper Presentations Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter s formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal. Colloquium Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by a moderator. A single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.

34 The Constructed Environment Ways of Speaking Focused Discussion For work that is best discussed or debated, rather than reported on through a formal presentation, these sessions provide a forum for an extended roundtable conversation between an author and a small group of interested colleagues. Several such discussions occur simultaneously in a specified area, with each author s table designated by a number corresponding to the title and topic listed in the program schedule. Summaries of the author s key ideas, or points of discussion, are used to stimulate and guide the discourse. A single article, based on the scholarly work and informed by the focused discussion as appropriate, may be submitted to the journal. Workshop/Interactive Session Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session. Poster Sessions Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates throughout the session. Virtual Lightning Talk Lightning talks are 5-minute flash video presentations. Authors present summaries or overviews of their work, describing the essential features (related to purpose, procedures, outcomes, or product). Like Paper Presentations, Lightning Talks are grouped according to topic or perspective into themed sessions. Authors are welcome to submit traditional lecture style videos or videos that use visual supports like PowerPoint. Final videos must be submitted at least one month prior to the conference start date. After the conference, videos are then presented on the network YouTube channel. Full papers can based in the virtual poster can also be submitted for consideration in the journal. Virtual Poster This format is ideal for presenting preliminary results of work in progress or for projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. Each poster should include a brief abstract of the purpose and procedures of the work. After acceptance, presenters are provided with a template and Virtual Posters are submitted as a PDF. Final posters must be submitted at least one month prior to the conference start date. Full papers based on the virtual poster can also be submitted for consideration in the journal.

They talk in different ways about the surrounding world and the cities in which we came to live. They show places in metropolises and smaller cities, sometimes spectacular and sometimes mysterious and inaccessible. They study the living organism of the city and capture the fleeting moments of the inhabitants lives. They look into the alleyways and absorb the architecture. The different techniques that they use, emphasize a rich workshop and extraordinary talent. Here, you can find graphics, painting, photography, freehand drawing. The Division of Freehand Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture has existed within the Faculty of Architecture of Cracow University of Technology since Excellent professors and educators create a list of wonderful names that have a great share in the cultural heritage of Krakow and Poland. Minor artists have taken part in countless collective exhibitions, and the amount of individual exhibitions around the world can not be counted. Their works are located in the most famous galleries and museums around the world. But they do not forget about the education of future architect hey combine the passion of art and the education of students to develop their imagination, talent, and ability to present their own projects.

40 The Constructed Environment Plenary Speakers Monika Büscher, Professor of Sociology, Director of the Centre for Mobilities Research, and Associate Director of the Institute for Social Futures, Lancaster University Infrastructuring Cosmopolitan Mobile Utopia Dr. Monika Büscher is Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University. She is Director of the Centre for Mobilities Research and Associate Director at the Institute for Social Futures. She currently leads research on the informationalization of risk governance, exploring opportunities and challenges in national and international projects (BRIDGE, SecInCoRe). Her theoretical orientation builds on mobilities research, phenomenology, ethnomethodology, science and technology studies, feminist and non-representational theory, and design research. She has published many articles and books, including Ethnographies of Diagnostic Work, Mobile Methods, and Design Research: Synergies from Interdisciplinary Perspectives. In 2011 she received an honorary doctorate for her work in participatory design from Roskilde University in Denmark. She edits the book series Changing Mobilities (Routledge) with Peter Adey. Monika s research explores the digital dimension of contemporary mobile lives, with a focus on IT ethics. She combines qualitative, often ethnographic studies of everyday practices, social theory, and design through mobile, experimental, inventive engagement with industry and stakeholders. An analytical orientation to intersecting physical and virtual mobilities; blocked movements; and immobilities of people, objects, and information drives this work. Monika s most recent research brings this perspective to the informationalization of large-scale multi-agency emergency response, which raises opportunities and challenges around social media-based public engagement, agile, and whole community approaches to disaster response, data sharing, data protection, and privacy.
