ViS - Artistic Research in Architecture
Design Phenomenographies for Industrial Wastelands
The long-neglected industrial wastelands of Romania present themselves as heterotopias in need of help. Post-Communist industrial ruins form a link to a multi-layered and difficult past, and their systemic erasure has contributed to a collective amnesia that perpetuates historical trauma and denies the local population access to the landscapes, natural and artificial, that tie them to a shared past and a collective cultural identity. This contribution aims to illustrate one methodology of bridging the gap between preservation through museumification and invasive architectural intervention. In this context, artistic and design-driven research practices can enable the emergence of ephemeral creative spaces that foster engagement with industrial heritage and reach beyond commodification and capitalist exploitation.

The publication identifies the long-term development goals and potentials of Design-Driven Doctoral Research and addresses research done within the proliferating research-by-design field and situates DDDr in an academic context of research.

Opinion Piece for KNTXTR
