Theoretical Explorations

2021, The Problem of Context

This paper applies Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to explore the concept of 'context' in architecture. ANT traces associations between actors in an 'actor-network', providing a useful descriptive tool. It helps clarify and expose weaknesses of assumptions and ideas underlying 'context' in architecture. As the need for more relevant and sustainable architecture increases, an exploration of 'contextual' is timely and essential. Supervised by Prof. John Stallmeyer at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign's School of Architecture.
