Stories of the vicissitudes\, the potential for innovation and the research problems related to digital culture and technology will be at the centre of the debates that will brin g together the EDAR community and key witnesses to the digital turn in res earch.\n\nA major issue for research at EPFL\, the digital transition is commonly referred to in the singular\, while at the same time constitutin g a specific aspect of the historical transition that is at work today on the climate\, energy\, health\, and social fronts too. However\, if we con sider the field of architecture and sciences of the city\, digitisation – understood as the transfer of knowledge from the physical world to the digital world\, determining the conditions of immaterial reproduction and simulation of material processes – in fact identifies a specific discon tinuity within a bundle of processes with disparate temporalities. Over th e very long term\, it is part of the history of calculated representation which\, since the Middle Ages\, has progressed in parallel with the evolut ion of construction and building site techniques. Over the very short term \, it refers to the advent of the big data regime and artificial intellige nce\, impacting in very specific ways different fields of study\, such as statistical sociology\, territorial analysis\, typological studies\, histo ry writing\, or constructive experimentation.\n\nTherefore\, it seems nece ssary to recognise the wide variety of forms taken by digital culture in r elation to EDAR research in terms of study topics\, research questions or methodologies. Thus\, digitisation counts in the definition of research to pics relating\, for example\, to forms and processes of representation\; p roject conception and design\; construction\; territorial analysis\, model ling and simulation\; and history\, theory\, and criticism. At the same ti me\, it influences operational methodologies relating to investigation\, c orpus constitution\, knowledge production\, as well as data verification\, archiving and accessibility. It guides the constitution of bibliographies \, the system of references and the researcher’s “imaginary museum”. It conditions the elaboration of collection or study case systems\, withi n which to make comparisons\; it determines the choice (or arrangements) b etween quantitative or qualitative approaches\, as well as between classif ication approaches – species\, families\, types\, etc. –\, or monograp hic approaches as a study of a unicum. Finally\, digitisation is as much an accelerator of interdisciplinarity as it is a condition for strong disc iplinary specialisation.\n\nThe Digital Minds 5th Rencontres de l’EDA R\, conceived as a “snapshot” of current research\, will make it possi ble to uncover the effective impact of digital culture on the subjects\, m ethods\, fabrication\, and scientific results of EDAR’s scholars researc h.\n\nThe seminar will take place in a hybrid manner\, on site with a limi ted number of people (PhD students registered to course AR-610) with respe ct to the sanitary regulations\, as well as on Zoom\, https://epfl.zoom.u s/s/66671738650\n\nPROGRAMME\n\n8h30\nWelcome by Elena Cogato Lanza\, EDA R Director\nMorning Introduction by Nicola Braghieri (LAPIS-EPFL)\n\n8h50 -9h50\nAlina Volynskaya (LHST EPFL)\, New order of things.
