        In recent years, the architectural intellectual discourse underwent

a significant transformation as the historical and historiographical
scholarships were influenced by critical theories and methodologies.
Architectural history is not any longer considered as a grand-
narrative, but rather interpreted as a multiplicity of political
conditions of identity created by spatiality and architecture.
Nevertheless, while most researches effectively elaborate on the
interrelations manifested by space and architecture, they sometimes
collapsed into narrow points of view, neglecting to address the
multilayered significations of the architectural texts as such. In
order to propose a broad discourse, in this conference, we would like
to return to phenomenology and reconsider the relations between this
philosophical discipline and architecture. In parallel to
intellectual inclinations in other fields and in the light of the
social and technological revolutions we witnessed at the end of the
millennium, the conference will seek scholarship that is based on
phenomenological interpretations. Through phenomenological
examinations of, among others, the following themes – the relations
between subject and object, the state of body in space and place,
matter and memory, the ethics and politics of the poetic, and senses
of place – we would like to reexamine the significance of
phenomenology for contemporary architecture. In the light of
contemporary cultural, political, technological and social
conditions, how can we think in phenomenological fashion about
architectural concepts such as place, space, tectonic, matter, and
dwelling? What are the means that phenomenology provides for the
architectural discourse and practice today?

Themes:

- Glocalism: Place-Making in Global Conditions
   - Digital Culture and the Reshaping of Experience
   - Essentialism: In-between Object and Subject
   - Architectural Selves: the Embodiment of Place
   - Matter and Memory: the Objects of Consciousness
   - The Transcendental in Architecture and the Question of Origin
   - Revisiting Husserl and Heidegger
   - The Depth of Vision: Phenomenological Re-presentations
   - Architecture In-between Ethics and Poetics
  - Becoming Place: Performance in and of Space
  - Spatial Thinking in Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas
   - The Time of Space/The Place of Time
   - The Sustainable in Architecture
