Common Grounds: On Site
An open call for active participation in a postgraduate research colloquium.
University of Sheffield, School of Architecture
April 20 2012 - April 21 2012
Event web site
Common Grounds is an opportunity to collaborate with postgraduate students and other early-career researchers in exploring what it means to engage in situated/active spatial research, and what might be gained through a propositional or praxis-led research agenda. Researchers that actively engage on and with site, people and place are encouraged to apply from any ‘spatial’ discipline (including activists, architects, artists, geographers, performers, planners, sociologists, and others).Site is loosely defined for this call as follows:
Site as noun:
A position, location, place, situation or locality. Somewhere demarcated or appropriated as a locus for future construction, work or study.
Site as verb:
To place, situate, set, locate, position or station.
Further constructing the meanings and connotations of site for multidisciplinary research is an intended outcome of the event.
This event will involve both presentations of ongoing site-based methodologies and the active testing of site-based methodologies in real-time on a real site.
Proposals are sought for
1. a way of working on site that actively explores the relationship between people and site. (100 words max.)
Presentation and discussion format within the symposium venue.
2. live demonstrations on site to test cross-disciplinary methodologies that critically explore the relationship between people and place. (100 words max)
Precise format and location of demonstrations will depend on the scope of submissions, but these are likely to take the form of ‘site-specific’ presentation / action / performances to be carried out on test-sites local to the University of Sheffield.
Deadline for submissions: 29th February 2012.
Please submit submissions to:
