DESCRIPTION:2020-2021 EDAR Lecture Series\n\nFor organizational purposes\,
  all participants in-situ need to register in advance here\, and have the
 ir names approved at the registration desk before the event.\n\nEDAR Docto
 ral Program of Architecture and Sciences of the City at EPFL is delighted 
 to launch the new series of lectures SCHOLARS in Transition.\nThe series 
 aims at giving a voice to contemporary scholars who\, within their ongoing
  research activity\, are experiencing a « transition » condition. Thei
 r contribution to new\, emerging research topics\, tentative interpretatio
 ns and unconventional approaches\, marks the intersection of their persona
 l research agendas\, the evolution of their discipline\, the public debate
 \, and the availability of sources and data.\nSCHOLARS in Transition will
  be a means of a collective debate on the potential of scientific initiati
 ve and responsibility of scholars in the fields of Architecture\, Urbanism
 \, Regional and Urban Studies.\n\nSCHOLARS in Transition #1\nFor the firs
 t conference of this series\, we are happy to host Joachim Declerck and F
 ilippo De Pieri. The two research fields of research by design and urba
 n history will be put in dialogue\, starting from the question: what is p
 lanning about?\nThe language of the conference is English.\n\nJoachim Decl
 erck is an engineer-architect and founding partner of Architecture Workro
 om Brussels (AW) – a European think-and-do tank for innovation in the fi
 eld of architecture and urban and regional development. As a guest profess
 or he has been associated with Ghent University (BE) since 2014\, and with
  EPFL since 2020. The main theme of his work is the use of design and spat
 ial development as levers for the realization of important social transiti
 ons. Declerck was the curator of the exhibition Building for Brussels –
  Architecture and Urban Transformation in Europe (2010). He was a member 
 of the curatorial team of the 5th IABR: Making City (2012) and of the Be
 lgian Pavilion at the 13th Architecture Biennale in Venice\, entitled The
  Ambition of the Territory (2012).\n\nFilippo De Pieri teaches Architect
 ural History at the Politecnico di Torino. His research covers the history
  of 19th and 20th-century cities\, with a special focus on the social hist
 ories of housing and planning and on the intersections between scholarly r
 esearch and public narratives. His publications include: Il controllo imp
 robabile. Progetti urbani\, burocrazie\, decisioni in una città capitale 
 dell’Ottocento (Milan\, 2005)\; Storie di case. Abitare l’Italia del
  boom (Rome\, 2013\, with B. Bonomo\, G. Caramellino\, F. Zanfi)\; Beiji
 ng Danwei: Industrial Heritage in the Contemporary City (Berlin\, 2015\, 
 with M. Bonino)\; Porter le temps. Ville et mémoire dans un site Unesco
  (Genève\, forthcoming\, with F. Graezer Bideau).\n\nMatthew Skjonsberg\

 \, will act as guest discussant.\n\nConference Venue\, Registration & Sche
