IDEAS: Interactive Database for Experimental Architecture and Spatial Practices Raquel Lopes, Alexandra Paio ISCTE-IUL Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal rmgls@iscte-iul.pta alexandra.paio@ iscte-iul.pt Abstract. The interface of science and technology has become a fruitful transdisciplinary research field for spatial practices. To address this hybridization of space-related research, it is fundamental to ask what kind of practices are emerging within this context. To promote easy access and the dissemination of methodologies applied in innovative experimental spatial practices, the present study proposes the creation of a web-based Interactive Database for Experimental Architecture and Spatial Practices, IDEAS. Therefore, we will scope, observe, examine, and classify the digital cultural landscape in the 1960-2020 period. This paper describes the methodology applied to develop IDEAS. Keywords: Spatial practices, Data gathering, Taxonomy, Architecture Wiki, Interactive Repository 1 Introduction Architecture has always been defined by the prevailing means of production. Stonemasons once carved column capitals and modern architects harnessed the prefabricated components made possible by industrialisation (Young, 2019:8). Now multiplicity and plurality are celebrated, as flows, networks, and maps replace grids, structures, and history (Vidler, 2004:143). The merging of art, science and technology presents new possibilities and mediums for design, creating emerging hybrid research fields and cultural expressions (Kak, 2007; Wilson, 2007; Gere, 2006). The place and impact of science and technology in the current cultural landscape - technoculture - has become a fruitful research field, focusing on the possibilities they present for transdisciplinary practices (Leopold et al, 2020; Leavy, 2017; Maldonado, 2012; Shaw, 2008; Cooper, 2002). Despite these important contributions, spatial practices are distant from the experimentations that could change how spaces are conceived and felt (Dave, 2005). In this paper the term “spatial practices” will be used to refer to transdisciplinary approaches, methodologies and projects that can contribute to conceive space and enhance public space in a 643 SIGraDi 2021 | Designing Possibilities | Ubiquitous Conference
