亚档基础研究：工作研讨会
2024年春季学期
This semester the AAAC (Asian Architectural Archives Center), in collaboration with the IDS (Internationalization Demonstration School), will launch a series of seminars that use materials held in the AAAC as the basis for new research and teaching. Each semester in the future we will try to have a similar series.
The aim of the meetings is to cultivate new ideas. The plan is to have this new thinking, groundwork, grow out of the study materials that have been largely overlooked, but now can be examined because they are held in the AAAC. Explorations, preliminary observations, and framing research questions will be the style and aim of the presentations and discussions. Developed and finished work can come later.
Each of the seminars will be led by a member of the IDS or School faculty and offered to other IDS and School faculty colleagues, Ph.D. students, upper-level graduate students, and invited visitors. The initial presentations will be about 45 minutes in length, followed by a discussion period of about the same length. The AAAC Director, Professor David Leatherbarrow, will host this initial series for this coming semester.
本学期，亚洲建筑档案中心将与建筑合作，共同启动一系列以亚档的馆藏资源为基础的研讨会，展开新的研究与教学的探索。今后每个学期，我们都将尝试举办类似的系列研讨会。研讨会的宗旨是激发新的思考。我们期望通过研究以往被广泛忽视的研究材料，促进新思维和基础研究的萌发。现在，由于这些文献被保存在亚档，使得这种研究成为可能。研讨会将采用探源溯流、初步考察、构建研究问题的方式展开发言和讨论。至于成熟和完成的工作则留待后续呈现。每次研讨会都将由一名或建筑学院的老师负责引导，欢迎和建筑学院的教师、博士生、高年级研究生以及特邀嘉宾参与。每次研讨会以报告开始，时间约为45分钟，随后将开展大约相同时长的讨论环节。亚档的馆长戴维·莱瑟巴罗教授将主持本学期即将启动的首次系列研讨活动。
The seminars will begin at 2:00 pm, according to the following schedule this semester:

To date, Prof. Leatherbarrow has authored 12 scholarly books and over 160 scholarly articles. His book Surface Architecture received the prestigious Bruno Zevi Prize in 2003, the highest international recognition for historical-critical essays on architecture. His book On Weathering was honored with the International Book Award from the American Institute of Architects. Many of his publications have been translated into languages including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, and Korean. Beyond his scholarly contributions, Prof. Leatherbarrow is revered internationally as an educator, having mentored numerous scholars who have since become influential figures in the academic community worldwide. His dedication to teaching has earned him numerous honors, including the 2020 Topaz Medallion, bestowed by AIA/ACSA, the most prestigious honor awarded to an educator in architecture.
In 2004, Prof. Leatherbarrow received his initial invitation to SEU. Shortly thereafter, he launched the graduate course "Advanced Theory of Architectural Design," which has continued for over a decade with fresh and advanced content each year. The Asian Architectural Archives Center, which was inaugurated in 2022, was jointly initiated by Prof. Leatherbarrow. This groundbreaking initiative stands as China's first international archive for architectural documentation and research, with Prof. Leatherbarrow serving as its inaugural director. The pioneering institution holds an indispensable role in the organization and research of architectural materials, poised to serve as a prominent platform for international collaboration. In recognition of the value of the archival materials, Prof. Leatherbarrow introduced a new course on "Readings in Architectural Theory" in 2023 and is now promoting the Working Seminar Series, a dynamic initiative aimed at using the archival resources for fostering discourse and collaboration.
