Miguel Borst, Qiyu Chen, Koen de Nie, Mees van Rhijn and Jean Rojanavilaivudh focus on mythopoesis, or the formation of a myth, as a tool in order to explore how the grotesque could be used to challenge what has become stuck. doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Giovanni La Varra, Alberto Cervesato and Tommaso Antiga argue for argue for a ‘forest intelligence’, opposed to the human-animal intelligence that has characterised the repertoire of architectural-urban solutions from modernity onwards. doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Justus Schäfer addresses the relationality of automation and the political-libidinal literacy of citizens, opening material conditions to participatory, creative appropriation and repair (collectively referred to as ‘alter automation’). doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Eda Yeyman and Ayse Sentürer propose to explore architecture’s singular conditions through the concept of trans-scalability, akin to transitioning from micro-subatomic to macro scales. doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Mar Muñoz Aparici and Maurice Harteveld explore the challenge of designing public spaces in hyperdiverse cities and argue that including knowledge often considered ‘stupid’ is key towards inclusive design approaches. doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Sinan Cem Kızıl and Bengisu Derebaşı discuss the already architecturally situated concept of error and distinguish it from stupidity in terms of ‘technicities’ that fail. doi.org/10.59490/footp…

Drawing from the imag(in)ing of passing time as a cuckoo’s repetitive passing through a threshold, Lena Galanopoulou emphasises the active role of repetition in modulating spatio-temporalities and fostering variations. doi.org/10.59490/footp…
