PLACE AND DISPLACEMENT
Micro-narratives of (un)settlement
is a collaborative workshop between the University of Sheffield School of Architecture and the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-La Villette funded by the French Embassy in the UK and co-led by Dr Xiang Ren and Associate Professor Jim Njoo.
The collaborative design research workshop aims to explore narrative representations and techniques which question prevailing discourses on migrant or displaced communities. More generally, it will address the current ubiquity of remote online tools and practices in shaping the identification of place and its experience in order to investigate new forms of architectural description that challenge conventional notions of “distance” and “proximity” typically associated with in situ fieldwork.
The international workshop offers 10-15 positions for Masters and Doctoral students. Creative design and/or writing skills are essential, as well as collaborative work experience and proficiency in English; interdisciplinary knowledge is welcome.
Participation is free of charge.
