Abstract

Editorial Summary: Coming from a background of sociology, but taking part in the interdisciplinary research network »Re-figuration of Space«, Séverine Marguin describes the »design turn« as a driving force for new directions in the humanities and natural sciences as well as a starting point for new formats and procedures in scientific investigation. She emphasizes the potential of cross-disciplinary research for either discipline involved, as it fosters new insights beyond disciplinary framings. »On the entanglement between sociology and architecture in the field of spatial research« highlights the »design turn« in social sciences as a catalyst for the incorporation of design-based procedures into the humanities, opening new possibilities to reconfigure the thematic field, its methodologies, and its forms of research. [Katharina Voigt]

  • This research project addresses a specific form of interdisciplinarity between design and sociology and, in particular, between architects, planners, and sociologists

  • Af ter forming our team, we decided as project staff to reorient the project and to push it more in the direction of a qualitative experimental basic research project, for which we interfered with irritations as well as optimizations across the 18 different settings

Editorial Summary: Coming from a background of sociology, but taking part in the interdisciplinary research network »Re-figuration of Space«, Séverine Marguin describes the »design turn« as a driving force for new directions in the humanities and natural sciences as well as a starting point for new formats and procedures in scientific investigation. One year later and outside of the already completed cluster, we published our project publication as a team and devised five concrete statements at the end of our detailed book, which were addressed to the designers of research spaces (Marguin/ Rabe/Schmidgall 2019: 186–188) This anecdote – in its complexity – allows me to develop a space to ref lect on polycontextural knowledge production at the interface between design and sociology (Marguin 2021)
