Symposia
How can we build relation?
The Place of Research event co-organized by the YSoA Doctoral Program in History and Theory with the Canadian Centre for Architecture
Relation is a critical concept and urgent area of public architectural research that moves across cultural anthropology, Indigenous studies, postcolonial studies, and other adjacent fields of inquiry, and that has yet to achieve a deep level of engagement and resolution in research related to the built environment. Architecture holds the power and responsibility to create unique modalities of relation: between groups of people, between human and nonhuman worlds, between built forms and ecologies, and between multiple localities that are connected through networks of abundance and collectivity. Join members of the CCA Research Network, coming from over three decades of research programs, and faculty and doctoral students at Yale for a one day event sharing methods, ideas, and projects that center relation-building.
