Inflection Journal Volume 3 - New Order: Transdisciplinarity in Architectural Practice

In an age of globalised collaboration, architecture, as an isolated discipline, seems no longer equipped to address the demands of contemporary society. One solution offered in this crisis of relevance is transdisciplinarity; the hybridisation of architecture with adjacent disciplines. As such, this concept has risen to become the dominant mode of contemporary architectural practice. Transdisciplinarity is the New Order.

Inflection Vol. 3 will explore the limits and the implications of this transdisciplinary age through a critical investigation of this current mode of practice.

Abstracts and queries may be submitted to editorial@inflectionjournal.com.

  • Administrative and information services including ID cards, fees, transcripts and graduations.
