Building Data: Architecture, Memory, and New Imaginaries
Ninth Annual ConferenceNovember 2019 - Jaap Bakema Study Centre This year’s annual conference of the Jaap Bakema Study Centre (JBSC)revisits the broad topic of the digital. This time the focus is on the vastamount of data that are being generated and stored, and how to viewthis overload in light of new possibilities for architectural design andconstruction, archival and heritage practices, knowledge curation anddissemination through storytelling. The questions around digital data and especially open data leave much toexplore and discover, specifically at the scale level of the building. Even ifurban and media studies have completely embraced the discourse arounddata, what remains an open question is the impact on architectural designand the building project. The intermediary object between the scale of theuser carrying around and interacting with the massively available microtechnologiesand the larger territorial scale of interconnected urban spaces,both public and private, has largely been disregarded. This became also clear from the responses to our call that we sent out. Itgenerated surprising propositions opening up new avenues we had not quiteexpected, from building analysis to co-creation formats as design tools,diversity and inclusion questions and data curation as historical research.The selected papers are clustered under the headings of Subjectivities,Hybridisation, Inclusions, and Precedents. Contributors do not address data and its collection as an autonomousfield, they all discuss data in relation to contextualisation and alternativeoperativity, beyond the conventional questions of optimisation. Data arenot a given, or a neutral outcome of surveillance, measuring and research,they are always curated. Data need narratives and narrators, to make sense.How to curate data, and by whom exactly and why, thus become crucialquestions to assess the potential of data for architectural design, their valueand meaning.
