SEMINARS 2012
In the wake of movements of the 60s and 70s researchers within the eld of architecture turned their focus on the interplay between individuals, organisation and space, as temporal dynamic processes situated within particular socio-economical contexts. Within a framework of work and production new socio-spatial processes where researched and developed. Today the strategic question is what can we retrospectively learn from this pioneering work and how can we build upon these experiences in order to be better prepared for what lies ahead?
In the Centre for Healthcare Architectures Seminar-series 2012, we have invited some pioneers in this eld in order to together revisit, re-read and re-think these settings, writings and propositions. Our ambition is strategic and constructive. We start with the international symposium and publication Industrial Architecture and Engineering Design - When People Matter, published and held in 1989, from which we also borrowed this years title.
The questions we are asking and which we would like to invite you discuss with us are: - What was valid then and what is valid today? - What was ruled out then but ought to be picked up again? - Why was this research relevant then and why might it be relevant today?
