A basic emotional mapping we did with a group of kids to be able to discuss the conscious reactions to various types of architectural expressions in an existing environment. Each person marked their reaction on a tracing paper with coloured sticker. We were able to put tracing papers on each other and compare everyone’s reaction. Great participatory starter for: 1. further discussions about brain and cognitive processes behind our reactions to built environments, 2. comparison with the existing evidence behind some architectural expressions, 3. further and more scientific exploration of the reactions, ?WL Arkitekter #allth?ngersamman

On of the great pleasures of being a university professor is having the opportunity to collaborate with students on peer-reviewed publications. I am especially proud of Katrina Stack Finkelstein for working so hard and creatively on an important but often under-discussed chapter in the history and geography of the Civil Rights Movement--Tent/Freedom Cities--and the implications of these resistant home places for enriching and even problematizing how we conventionally teach the Movement. Well done, Katrina. https://lnkd.in/e5paz6kh

Book: Urban Informality and the Built?Environment; infrastructure, exchange and image ..."The main argument of the proposed volume is the need to re-centre the study of informality away from state-centric approaches that define the informal vis-à-vis the state. With a focus on the built environment, this volume puts forward considerations of materiality, form, function and meaning, shifting attention to the relational in informal spaces and embracing the varying components of the urban infrastructure."
