Networks of (Ex)Change

In 1928\, the \;Congrè\;s Internationaux d&rsquo\;Archite cture Moderne \;(CIAM) was founded by an international group of f orward-thinking architects to address major challenges in architectural de sign and urban planning. In the run-up to the CIAM centenary in 2028\, the Jaap Bakema Study Centre and the gta Archive of the ETH Zurich are organi sing a series of joint events on networks of knowledge exchange in archite cture and urban planning. These events will focus not only on the historic al impact of such networks\, but also on the potential lessons for address ing today&rsquo\;s key issues of sustainable growth and transformation in our urban regions. The 12th annual conference of the Jaap Bakema Study Cen tre in Delft and Rotterdam on 19 and 20 November\, is the first event in t he series.

In the 21st century\, globalisation se ems like an almost natural condition\, inescapable in everything from plan etary communication technologies and energy infrastructures to the threat of pandemics and climate crises. The transformation of architectural disco urse and exchange has followed suit. Current geopolitical upheavals are a stark reminder of the importance of such networks of collaboration and kno wledge exchange.

CIAM played a central role in fa cilitating a transnational shift in architectural discourse and practice f ollowing the crises of World War I. Crucially\, design issues were seen as inextricably linked to pressing social and environmental concerns\, with mass housing and universal health care at the forefront. CIAM became a pla ce for the exchange of design strategies to both accommodate and counter t he relentless modernisation of cities\, countries and even entire continen ts.

CIAM was neither the first nor the only inter national platform for architects to network and share knowledge. From the first international congresses on housing and urban planning\, to a host o f avant-garde groups\, professional organisations such as the UIA\, and in ternational agencies such as UN Habitat\, all contributed to the emergence of multiple networks that facilitated international exchanges and profess ional alignments across ideological and political boundaries. Whatever the ir scope\, agendas or lifespan\, these networks were almost invariably tra nsdisciplinary\, recognising the benefits of including expertise and voice s from outside architecture\, especially from government representatives\, societal stakeholders\, and benefactors.

For thi s first conference\, we seek exploratory contributions that map and identi fy the formative moments and multiple actors within these global networks and their modes of operation.

Questi ons to be addressed include but are not limited to:

We are interested no t only in the historical dimensions of this phenomenon of global networks of exchange\, but also in how it can address pressing contemporary issues\ , from socio-ecological perspectives to the need to pluralise histories in search of overlooked\, marginalised and oppressed voices.


Abstract

Abstracts (300-500 words) a nd short biographies (100 words) should be sent to \;Stef Dingen \;(s.dingen@nieuweinstituut.nl) for consideration. Selected authors will be asked to develop their abstracts into full papers for publication in the conference proceedings by the conference date.

Selection

Abstracts will be selected on the basis of relevance and focus in relation to the call\, state-of-the-art re search\, an innovative and challenging approach\, and an eloquent and evoc ative articulation of the proposition. Both academics and practitioners ar e invited to submit proposals. We aim for a diverse group of speakers\, in cluding in terms of nationality\, seniority and academic and institutional background\, to ensure a productive and lively exchange of knowledge. We are unable to confirm at this stage whether a limited number of travel gra nts will be available for selected participants.
