“Skriva Arkitektur” är en kurs och serie workshops på temat “Skriva Arkitektur” som AKAD genom Katja Grillner arrangerat vid KTH. Projektet visas på Lunds Konsthall i AKADs utställning januari 2006. Dels visas texter – berättelser, dikter, kollage, essäer – som skrivits i kursen – dels visas annan dokumentation, filmer och fotografier från arbetet. Projektet syftar till att öka medvetenheten kring skrivande och språk, särskilt i relation till undersökningar av arkitektur och rumsliga konstellationer. Arkitekter, designer, konstnärer och forskare har fått möjlighet att utforska sina språkliga uttrycksformer och att utveckla kritiska angreppssätt för att läsa och diskutera texter. Texten och språket betraktas här både som ett designmaterial bland andra, och som ett unikt verktyg för att kritiskt formulera och kommunicera de insikter som nås i det konstnärligt experimentella forskningsprojektet. I de första tre workshoparna har vi inriktat oss särskilt på platsspecifikt skrivande och rösten/rösterna i skrivandet. Som workshopledare och föreläsare har Katja Grillner, Rolf Hughes, Jane Rendell, och Tracey Winton engagerats. I boken ’01.AKAD – Experimentell forskning inom arkitektur och design – Startpunkter’ presenteras delar av kursen med essäer, kollage och dikter av Katja Grillner, Rolf Hughes, Tracey Winton, Elin Olsson, Katarina Bonnevier, Johanna Gullberg och Anna Ryan.

Textliga rumsligheter och poetiska
föreställningar står i fokus för denna kurs och workshop som syftar till att
ge en fördjupad medvetenhet om det egna språkets elasticitet och genom
noggrann läsning av utvalda litterära, filosofiska och arkitekturkritiska
exempel utveckla en skärpt blick för skrivandets arkitektur.
Som föreläsare och workshopledare har vi bjudit in Tracey Winton, Rolf Hughes and Jane Rendell.
Dr. Tracey Eve Winton är arkitekt och har en filosofie doktorsgrad från Cambridge University inom Arkitekturens filosofi och historia. Hon bor för närvarande i Rom där hon ansvarar för Waterloouniversitetets Romprogram i Arkitektur. Hennes pågående arbete inkluderar två böcker en kommenterad översättning av Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, och en undersökning av landskapets ikonografi i Renässansmåleri.
Dr. Rolf Hughes, är författare och forskare vid arkitekturskolan KTH. Han har en filosofie doktorsgrad i Creative and Critical Writing från East Anglia Universitetet. He is currently researching genealogies of authorship, judgment and representation as part of the collaborative research project Architecture and its Mythologies with Timothy Anstey and Katja Grillner.
Dr. Jane Rendell, arkitekt, kritiker och teoretiker verksam på Bartlett School of Architecture är författare till "The Pursuit of Pleasure" om 'lustflanerier' i 1800-talets London, och är redaktör för ett flertal viktiga arkitektur och urbanteoretiska antologier ("Gender, Space and Architecture", "Intersections", "The Unknown City").

Writing Architecture is a course and series of workshops offered by AKAD, through Katja Grillner, at KTH. The project is shown at the AKAD exhibition at Lund Konsthall in january 2006. It shows the texts - stories, poems, collages, essays – which were written in the course, as well as film and photographs from the events. These workshops seek to raise the awareness of language and writing in relation to architectural and spatial explorations. Architects, designers, artists and researchers have been invited to explore their own textual modes of expression and develop critical modes of reading and discussing texts. Text and language are here regarded as design materials among others, and as unique tools for formulating and communicating critically the insights gained through an experimental research by design project. In the first set of three workshops we focussed on site-specific writing and the writing voice. Workshop leaders and lecturers were Katja Grillner, Rolf Hughes, Jane Rendell, and Tracey Winton. The publication ’01.AKAD – Experimental Research in Architecture and Design - Beginnings’ present the parts of the course with essays, collage and poems by Katja Grillner, Rolf Hughes, Tracey Winton, Elin Olsson, Katarina Bonnevier, Johanna Gullberg and Anna Ryan.

The aim of this course is to develop sensitivity and control over your own language and to develop a critical perspective in relation to your own creative work. It is aimed at artists, architects and designers who are, or intend to be, engaged in practice-based research projects (research by design) or are interested in the intersecting fields between art, writing and research. Writing is addressed both as a medium through which to develop a critical position towards the architectural, design, or art project, and as a means by which spatialities may be carefully explored and designed in words. Experimentation with modes of writing is considered a crucial counterpoint to the actual performance of an art, architecture or design project. The course takes the form of three workshops and two seminars devoted to the development of a longer essay centred around an on-going or future project.
As visiting lecturers we have invited Tracey Winton, Rolf Hughes and Jane Rendell.
