Architectures of operation | Deljana Iossifova & Doreen Bernath
To read architecture through its entanglements is no longer an act of disciplinary disruption. It is, increasingly, a condition of disciplinary endurance. Yet, the quality and form of those entanglements — their material texture, temporal reach, and epistemic load — remain unevenly interrogated. The articles gathered in this issue resist the assumption that architecture's relationality is self-evident or benign. They foreground instead the infrastructural, representational, historiographic, and institutional work through which architectural knowledge is composed, distributed, and sustained. Rather than relying on a shared method or geographical frame, what connects them is a sustained attentiveness to the operations — conceptual, logistical, and pedagogical — through which architecture takes hold in the world.
