You are kindly invited to IAED Seminar SPRING 2021-2022 organized by the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, FADA, Bilkent University.

Speaker: Dr. Marwa Al Khalidi
Title: “Within, Between and Beyond Transdisciplinarity in Architectural Research and Education”

Date & Time: April 22, 2022, Friday, 12.30 pm.

ABSTRACT:
There is always a necessity for creating theoretical and intellectual innovations in architecture education and research. Such advances must be promoted both in academics and in research; to advance their holistic foundations; and to creatively explore their underlying potentials. In the architecture field, one of the researchers’/educators’ missions is to promote these advancements in concrete/ practical forms. In this talk, I discuss some of my attempts to encourage these developments through my research and teaching approaches. Throughout my work, I have always aimed to create ‘beyond’ what is introduced to me by navigating ‘within’ and ‘between’ my insights and my personal interactions with different fields of knowledge. The transdisciplinarity that I usually adopt resides in what I bring to any scientific, educational activity I conduct. It lies in the varied scientific backgrounds I have; the social and cultural diversities I have lived; and in experimental modes of inquiry, I adopt.
