PURPLSOC - Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change - Donau Universität Krems 3. - 5. 7. 2015
Christopher Alexander, architect, mathematician and philosopher,
established a fundamental new approach to understanding and designing
buildings: patterns and pattern languages.
In the last two decades, the pattern approach of Alexander has gone
beyond architecture and is now also being successfully implemented in
many other fields, such as design, media, arts, IT, management,
pedagogy, social activism, social innovation and grassroots movements.
It has become an effectual interdisciplinary tool for collecting and
conveying informal knowledge. Lastly, as Alexander states, with the
objective to build a society which is alive and whole.
The World Conference PURPLSOC - In Pursuit of Pattern Languages for
Societal Change - 3.-5. July 2015 at Danube University Krems will
discuss and reflect on this recent development in the application of the
pattern approach of Christopher Alexander. The conference wishes to
stimulate the attention for pattern related work, both in the scientific
community and the wider public, by showing its broad applicability and
richness and bringing application/best practice examples from outside
the scientific community into research.
PURPLSOC provides a forum for researchers from a variety of fields as
well as the broader audience to come together and discuss topics such
as:
- Architecture, Urbanism and Regional Development
- Design, Media, Arts & IT
- Pedagogy, Education and Learning
- Social Activism, Social Innovation and Grassroots Movement
- Everyday Applications and Additional Disciplines
We look forward to welcoming you in Krems!
