Beskrivelse

The aim of the course is to introduce architectural anthropology in general and in relation to the participants’ own research projects. “This book prompts architects and anthropologists to think and act together. In order to fully grasp the relationship between human beings and their built environments and design more livable and sustainable buildings and cities in the future, we need new cross-disciplinary approaches combining anthropology and architecture. This is neither anthropology of architecture, nor ethnography for architects, but a new approach beyond these positions: Architectural Anthropology”. This description introduces the book Architectural Anthropology – Exploring Lived Space (2021). Senior researcher and anthropologist Marie Stender, who is one of the book’s authors and has worked extensively in architectural anthropology, presents the research perspectives and uses of architectural anthropology in the course. The course’s second keynote speaker, architect Bente Melgaard, has called her PhD thesis The Planned and the Lived Suburb (2018) an architectural anthropological search for exchange between suburban enclaves. In her talk, she will discuss how anthropology inspired her as an architect, and what it means for a method to come into being along the way.
