ARCSUS - Architecture, Culture & SustainabilityDesign and Research expertise (ENABLING dis-ABILITY STUDIES)

prof.dr. arch. Marc Dujardin

“Wherever architecture is approached as a people-centered design paradigm commonly referred to as ‘Universal Design or Inclusive Design, the role and meaning of culture as key dimension of sustainable development is commonly referred to as ‘Cultural Sustainability’, the fourth pillar the sustainability concept (social – economic –environmental).

“Universal design is a people centered design concept that recognizes, respects, values and attempts to accommodate the broadest possible spectrum of human ability”.

The exploration of a people-centred design paradigm, based on USER-ORIENTATION seemsand the only way to change the mindset of designers from an Art- Technology geared approach towards a more empathic and inclusive design attitude.

In the design of all products, environments and information systems It requires sensitivity to and knowledge about people of all ages and abilities. Sometimes referred to as "lifespan design" or "trans-generational design," universal design encompasses and goes beyond the accessible, adaptable and barrier-free design concepts of the past.

It helps eliminate the need for special features and spaces, which for some people, are often stigmatizing, embarrassing, different looking and usually more expensive. (Ronald Mace – Universal Design definition Centre for Universal Design – US)

ARCSUS - Architecture, Culture & SustainabilityDesign and Research expertise (ARCHITECTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY)

prof.dr. arch. Marc Dujardin

“One day, perhaps, there will be a sign of intelligent life on another world. Then, through an effect of solidarity whose mechanisms the ethnologist has studied on a small scale, the whole terrestrial space will become a single place. Being from earth will signify something. In the meantime, though, it is far from certain that threats to the environment are sufficient to produce the same effect. The community of human destinies is experienced in the anonymity of non-place, and in solitude” (Marc Augé – ‘Non-Places: Introduction to an anthropology of super modernity’ -1995).

The research group aims to approach and explore the relationship between Architecture and Sustainability from the perspective of Culture and Society.

Whenever the potential dimension of architecture as medium of (spatial) communication and mediation is at stake, architecture should be approached as a cultural practice and is widely referred to as ‘Architectural Anthropology’.

“Architectural Anthropology starts with the idea that every human society builds their habitat in a way which on the one hand reflects the ecosystem, technology, mode of production and ideas about life and after-life of that particular society, while on the other hand it articulates in its particular forms what is a universal phenomenon inherent in any human society” (Jan Pieper -‘Ritual Space in India: Studies in Architectural Anthropology – 1980).

RAAAF operates on the edge of Architecture, Art and PhilosophyThe multi-disciplinary and experimental studio was founded in 2006.

In the same year they received the « Prix de Rome » for theirproject « Generating Dune Scapes » to turm Ijmuiden into a fascinating urban dune landscape as first winter bathing place of the Netherlands.

BUNKER 599 Project - Culemborg 2010

In rather radical terms, the intervention aims at challenging the DutchHeritage politics.

Paradoxically, after the RAAAF design intervention, bunker 599 upgradedfrom a « municipal monument » to a « state monument.

To materiaze this very seemingly simple concept and architecture-gearedintervention, an interdisciplinary approach was necessary to bring thisproject to a success:

One can build and tell the story of this bunker from a diversity of entry points and research themes:

History - Architecture – Light Architecture – Building Engineering –Technology – Heritage – Ecology – Climate Change – Art –Anthropology – Material Culture – Landscape Urbanism – Eco & Cultural Tourism - …….
