Dimensions Journal special issue on ‘Prototypes as Instruments for Critical Practice’

Written by Juan Jose Castellon

The Dimensions Journal special issue on ‘Prototypes as Instruments for Critical Practice’ offers 8 articles and 5 interviews, including by several IASA members. It is open-access, available to all.

“In an era of accelerating technological development, climate urgency, and shifting paradigms of architectural research, the prototype emerges as a vital instrument – both as a medium of inquiry and as a mode of expression. This issue of Dimensions explores and questions the multifaceted nature of prototypes, emphasizing and interrogating their capacity to generate, embody, and communicate knowledge across scales, activities, and disciplinary boundaries.” (Isak Worre Foged/Anne-Catrin Schultz, editorial)

This issue supports and advances everybody’s understanding and use of the prototype as a critical instrument for curiosity-, problem-, and solution-driven architectures of the future.
