01 / Reformulation
The CA²RE / CA²RE+ LJUBLJANA event is a part of the CA²RE+ Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership. It is the 5th of 6 Intensive Study Programmes for Doctoral Candidates within the Strategic Partnership running 2019 – 2022. The project is developed as a parallel and a trigger to the continuity of the CA2RE Conferences for Artistic and Architectural REsearch.
The Ljubljana event addressed the topic REFORMULATION. The event built on the topics: OBSERVATION, SHARING, COMPARISON, and REFLECTION explored at previous CA2RE+ events. It represented a first step in building an extended DDr FRAMEWORK.
The event strived to reformulate and refresh the idea of the doctoral evaluation training as an event. It translated and expanded the DDr STRATEGIES and EVALUATION processes to increase their relevance to related disciplines that have previously informed DDr. This step redefined the experiential DDr knowledge explication through performances and discussions with the broadest possible audience. It aimed to identify the boundaries of DDr's relevance: when is the approach specific enough to be engaging and generic enough to be applicable?
The event raised the question of what the CA2RE community needs to reformulate to strengthen DDr: How can we qualify the different levels of observations and reflections on the research to evaluate the quality of DDr? How can we address general research criteria of relevance, rigour and originality in ways that make them stimulating for researchers and strengthen the intersubjectivity of DDr? How can we improve our understanding of the processes of ongoing DDr? How can design questions be directed into research questions and aims, and how do we assess the research relevance of these questions and aims? How can relational and situational design activities become relevant research contributions outside their specific context, and how does this become relevant for other research approaches? How can the individual researchers approach their research to make it accessible for new panellists? How can we translate the common ground and shared understandings that are developed through DDr to new audiences? To rephrase, redraw, reconstitute, retransform, reconstruct, regenerate … are all actions described during the last CA2RE/CA2RE+ event in Hamburg. What do they reformulate, why, how and when? The CA2RE/CA2RE+ Ljubljana discussion will engage in these type of questions.
LJUBLJANA expressed its artistic and architectural research tradition through this project step with its sensitivity to delicate and even vulnerable places of our contemporary architectural and urban environments. The architectural culture in Slovenia reflects the small-scale hybrid landscapes of settlements with a very high level of vulnerability of places, due to both natural and cultural spatial dynamics. The research culture is thus hybrid and inclusive, open and flexible to a wide variety of DDr research approaches.
LJUBLJANA also built on the experience as the organizer of the second in the CA²RE conference series in Autumn 2017. If that event was oriented to the supradisciplinary field or the arts and architecture, the CA²RE+ in Autumn 2021 looked to the wider context of humanities and social sciences. It took the advantage of the established research ties between the Faculty of Architecture, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, and also the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social Sciences. It brought environmental psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, urban sociologists, geographers, experts in cultural studies, experts in human resource management, and other related experts into the discussion.

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.
