Researching in the city zine

The AHRA PhD Symposium 2021, hosted by Sheffield Hallam University School of Architecture, seeks to ask how architectural research might be embedded within different organisations, places and networks in multiple ways, thus beginning to redefine the role of such research and its relationship to the city. While embedded and ethnographic methods have become more widespread, we see potential in further exploring the particular approaches, relations, networks + collaborations that emerge from socio-spatial studies within or between urban organisations, agencies, municipalities and groups. The symposium is delivered through collaboration with 4 organisations from Sheffield and Leeds with whom we have a relation, with each ‘hosting’ one of the 4 themes of the symposium. Practices / Care with SADACCA (Sheffield)|| Spaces / Memory with East St Arts (Leeds) || Ecologies / Constellations with Regather (Sheffield) || Dreaming with Foodhall (Sheffield)
