“…The fact that buildings interact (with a context, with people, with nonhumans) is central to various contemporary fields of study, both inside and outside architecture. From gender studies [28][29][30] to sustainable design [31][32][33] to the more recent field of human-building interaction (HBI) [34][35][36], much research investigates the individual or social interactions between people and buildings [37,38]. However, only a minor part of contemporary research attempts to lay the foundations of a relational theory of architecture, answering basic questions such as: should buildings be conceptualized as relational entities or not (this is, as we shall see, a key point in the debate)?…”

In recent years, architectural interactions have become the center of many important reflections. However, there is little agreement on the subject. Some authors consider architecture to be about its relations with human and nonhuman agents. Others consider that buildings have an autonomous presence, which transcends all their interactions. These approaches are generally seen as incompatible. Although at the heart of the debate is the role of relations in architecture, their nature is not addressed. The discussion could gain clarity by recognizing the differences between them. In this paper, we propose a classification of architectural interactions, which may help to better inform further discussion on the topic. A closer look at architectural relations reveals that autonomy and relationality are not opposing, but complementary, aspects.

“…This kind of work is, on the one hand, self-driven, internal motivated and self-fulfilling, and on the other hand, precarious and competitive. The process of creative industries includes "communication, teamwork, improvisation, self-management and performing body" [4]. Art work, including architecture work, is more likely to be treated as the cooperation of a number of participants and carried on with collective efforts.…”

Female architects in the professional industry or feminist spaces design are explored as two main aspects or topic in the study of feminism in architecture. Architectural design practice, as collective, cooperative and immaterial work, mostly produces space. In this research, relationship between participation of women architects in the cooperative link of professional team and creation of feminist space is explored. A questionnaire, designed for both male and female architects in China, was sent to architectural design industry forum and chat rooms via internet, discussing female architects' labour division in the team and the implementation of feminist space. In the results, men architects have a certain bias against women architects' strengths and characteristics as well as cognition of feminist compared to that of female's responses. At present, the division of labor in the team is generally dominated by men in the gender-neutral approach of architecture design. Meanwhile, male architects are less aware of feminist spatial needs than women. Increasing female architects' participation in core professional links would have positive effects on design and implementation of feminist space.

“…By identifying towns as assemblages, therefore, it becomes impossible to see them in isolation, and we must understand how localized performances might have far-reaching, unintended and unforeseen consequences. Because towns are formed of interconnections which extend beyond their physical bounds, a focus on intensity and process makes ‘any precise distinction between “urban” and “rural” quite irrelevant’ (Frichot and Metzger 2016, 82); at least as an a priori category the town is merely a metaphor for the intensive processes out of which it may become visible in a variety of forms.…”

Assemblage urbanism. Becoming urban in late medieval Southampton

It is proposed that assemblage theory offers the possibility of exploring archaeological evidence in innovative ways, in order to write alternative narratives of urban development. By combining historical and archaeological scholarship with work in contemporary urban geography, it is proposed that the concept of urban decline in the later Middle Ages is problematic and a more fruitful alternative approach would be to focus on the transformation of urban assemblages. These ideas are explored by drawing upon archaeological evidence from Southampton, UK.
