AHRC-FAPESP MoU Translating Ferro / Transforming Knowledges of Architecture, Design and Labour for the New Field of Production Studies [TF/TK]

翻译铁氧体/改造知识是一个为期三年半的研究项目，汇集了英国和S的学者和建筑环境生产者，研究并提高对建筑生产的认识，并培养负责任和公正的替代方案，以应对全球当代建筑建筑日益恶化和日益分散的状况。该项目与专业和非正式建筑部门的附属研究人员和合作组织合作，反对将设计与施工分开，为新的跨学科、跨文化的生产研究领域整合并提供可用的资源和研究方法。为此，它动员并首次将建筑历史学家和理论家S·费罗对设计、劳动力和建筑工地的最重要调查中的关键作品翻译成英文，尽管他的作品与当今紧迫的建筑危机相关，但在巴西和法国以外的环境下，他的作品仍然鲜为人知。从政治经济学、社会学、哲学到艺术史、建筑学和建筑史，费罗的框架既为生产研究提供了共同的批评、理论和方法基础，并将其引向社会行动，正如他对今天在巴西工作的建筑师的重要影响所表明的那样，这些建筑师在自我管理的建筑生产中为草根运动和社区提供技术建议。其中许多集团(USINA、Arquietura na Perferia、Peabiru)直接参与了该项目，该项目通过国际交流加强了他们的可持续性，并与主流建筑占主导地位的英国等建筑文化分享了他们在替代建筑工艺方面的专业知识。作为一种实现变革的手段，该项目将通过与生产研究领域的学者、建筑环境研究人员和生产者以及更广泛的公众开展一系列活动来转变设计和建筑生产的知识，包括：i)在英国(伦敦纽卡斯尔)和S圣保罗州(S；(2)联合制作24个新的案例研究--旨在作为解决生产学术知识差距的范例(非正式和正式生产的历史，人类学、政治学等相关学科方法)，并为进一步行动和变革提供资源(记录社会运动和自我建造者的工作，记录和试验参与生产的其他形式的设计教学)。iii)开展一系列活动，如当地讲习班、现场建造项目、专业发展培训、公开讲座、戏剧、与建筑从业者、建筑行业专业人员和机构、活动家、设计学生和教育家以及公众一起放映电影，与项目合作伙伴(如在S、巴西建筑师学会)合作；UMM(住房运动联盟)；Centro Gaspar Garcia；在英国，RIBA(英国皇家建筑师学会)，建筑中心，威廉·莫里斯画廊)。

Translating Ferro/Transforming Knowledges is a 3.5 year research project bringing together UK and São Paulo based academics and producers of the built environment to study and raise awareness of building production, and to foster, responsible and just alternatives to the worsening and increasingly dispersed conditions of contemporary building construction across the globe. Working together with affiliated researchers and partner organisations from professional and informal building sectors, and resisting the separation of design from construction, the project consolidates and makes available resources and research methodologies for the new interdisciplinary, cross-cultural field of Production Studies. To do so it mobilises and makes available for the first time in English translation key works from the foremost enquiry into design, labour and the construction site by the still-active architectural historian and theorist Sérgio Ferro, whose work remains little known outside the Brazilian and French contexts where it was developed, despite its pertinence to the urgent crisis in building today. Drawing on disciplines from political economy, sociology, philosophy to history of art, architecture and construction, Ferro's framework both provides a common critical, theoretical and methodological ground for Production Studies, and directs it towards social action, as already demonstrated by his important influence on architects working in Brazil today to technically advise grassroots movements and communities in self-managed building production. A number of these groups (Usina, Arquitetura na Periferia, Peabiru) are directly involved in the project, which strengthens their sustainability through international exchange and shares their expertise of alternative construction processes with building cultures such as the UK where mainstream construction dominates. As a means to effect change the project will transform knowledge of design and building production through a series of activities with academics in the field of Production Studies, researchers and producers of the built environment, and with wider publics including:i) an annual programme of Production Studies symposia and exchanges in the UK (Newcastle, London) and in São Paulo state (São Paulo; São Carlos).ii) the co-production of 24 new case studies - that are aimed as exemplars to both address the gap in academic knowledge of production (histories of informal and formal production, related disciplinary approaches such as anthropology, political science) and to provide resources for further action and change (documenting the work of social movements and self-builders, recording and trialling alternative forms of design pedagogy that engage with production).iii) a range of activities such as local workshops, live build projects, professional development training, public talks, theatre, film screenings with architectural practitioners, building industry professionals and institutions, activists, design students and pedagogues, and the general public, in conjunction with project partners (such as, in São Paulo, IAB-SP (Institute of Brazilian Architects); UMM (Union of Housing Movements); Centro Gaspar Garcia, and in the UK, the RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects), The Building Centre, William Morris Gallery).
