Processes, and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attention to the architectural design in practice and research.
»Making Sense: Thinking through Making Architecture«, Issue 06/2023, investigates how the production of architectural knowledge involves the interaction of the body, the material reality, and the environmental world. Making sense here is defined as the production of architectural knowledge through the physical act of making. The contributors to this issue show how making architecture may be understood as a way of thinking.
