EAAE-ARCC Conference 2024: Architecture into the Unknown

This volume presents the proceedings of the EAAE–ARCC Conference 2024, “Architecture into the Unknown,” hosted by the Aarhus School of Architecture. Bringing together international scholars, researchers, and practitioners, the collection explores emerging trajectories in architectural research and practice at the intersection of technological innovation, environmental uncertainty, and socio-spatial transformation. The contributions address a wide range of themes, including digital design and fabrication, artificial intelligence, climate-responsive architecture, urban resilience, and interdisciplinary design pedagogy. Across diverse methodological approaches from computational modeling and experimental prototyping to critical theory and case-based research the volume foregrounds architecture as an adaptive and exploratory discipline capable of responding to rapidly changing global conditions. By situating architectural inquiry within broader ecological, technological, and cultural contexts, the proceedings advance new frameworks for engaging uncertainty, fostering innovation, and rethinking the role of design in shaping sustainable and inclusive futures. This collection contributes to ongoing debates on the future of architectural education and practice, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, critical reflection, and forward-looking research in addressing the challenges of the built environment.
