E
Riet Eeckhout
KU Leuven
Riet Eeckhout’s research focuses on the agency of drawing within the discipline of architecture, more specifically the generative capacity of architectural drawing surpassing its representational nature. She exhibits, lecture’s and writes about her drawing practice from within the discipline of architecture. The research is driven by projects in collaboration with an international network of architects and theorists to build knowledge on artefactual agency in processes and results.
F
Kent Fitzsimons
Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture et de paysage de Bordeaux
My research adopts a critical approach to theories regarding the relationship between social forms and material forms. This has brought me to study how architecture and architectural thought construct ideas about the body (gender, handicap, ageing), the intentions and effects of sustainable urban mobility projects (modal shift, active modes, social mixity), and the contrasts between politicizing architecture as form and politicizing architecture as process.
Domen Fras
University of Ljubljana
Typography and typeface design are two fields of my practice and research. I participated in numerous public and cultural projects in various media linking architectural, graphic and typographic design with strong focus on a relationship between the information conveyed by typography and its visual form.

As a philosopher and artist, I am interested in the aesthetic formulations of practice-based research. I have worked on artistic research for more than 10 years, published philosophical books on the topic and curated exhibitions.
Christoph Heinemann
HCU Hamburg
Based on my proper approach on design experienced in our architectural practice ifau as well as on the design methods we develop and teach in our design studio at HCU in Hamburg, I am especially interested in a projective approach on architecture based on situative development strategies and relational practices, allowing to combine and process specific experiential knowledge and overarching societal issues.
