Abstract

Abstract: This paper seeks to challenge the notion of context from an operational perspective. Can we grasp the forces that shape the complex conditions for an architectural or urban design within the notion of context? By shifting the gaze towards the agency of architecture, contextual analysis is explored as a search for action instead of meaning. For this purpose the notion of context will be discussed from an Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) perspective. By means of research by design, i.e. design experiment and theoretical reflection, the potential of a key concept and method in architectural production shall be re-examined.
