Synopsis

»Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the creation, constitution and transmission of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, procedures and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attentiveness to the architectural design and epistemologies of aesthetic practice and research.
Dimensions Issue 02/2021, edited by Katharina Voigt and Virginie Roy, investigates lived experience as source for the constitution of knowledge. This edition is concerned with the movements of exploration and the inner sensations of being moved by experience. Addressing situational experience allows bringing implicit dimensions of perception to attention, enabling a tangible understanding to emerge – for the actual encounter, as well as connected to memory and imagination. Practitioners and scholars from various disciplines open the realm for theoretical, applied and practice-related forms of research, whilst all contributions are aligned to enrich the discourse of architecture and its versatile dimensions.

About the Authors

Virginie Roy (Prof.) studied dance at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon (CNSMD) and dance pedagogy at Centre National de la Danse (CND) in Lyon, and completed her master's degree in clinical psychology and her diploma in art therapy at the University of Paris 8. Furthermore, Virginie Roy earned a postgraduate diploma in clinical and health psychology from the University of Vienna. She combines these experiences in her practice as a clinical health psychologist and sport psychologist, as a dancer/performer, as a professor of contemporary dance in the faculty of performing arts at the Music and Art University, and a lecturer on movement and psychology at Sigmund Freud University, both in Vienna. Her research, publications, and collaborations are motivated by the idea of movement in physical and psychic spaces, in the fields of contemporary dance, architecture, and the artistic diversity practice.

Katharina Voigt studied architecture in Hamburg, Munich, and Stockholm. She worked for Stölken Schmidt Architekten BDA in Hamburg and Heim Kuntscher Architekten und Stadtplaner BDA in Munich. She researches and teaches at the Chair of Architectural Design and Conception, at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses on transdisciplinary investigations of architecture, highlighting the lived experience as significant for the anticipation of architectural design, and investigating the integration of sensuality and bodily knowledge in architectural research. Her doctorate on dance practices as a medium and tool of architectural experience, research, and design is associated with the doctoral program Epistemologies of Aesthetic Practices at the Collegium Helveticum. She is a founder and member of the advisory board for »Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge«.
