Summary:

«  In a time of rapidly changing planetary conditions, light assumes a different position within architectural discourse. Long associated with questions of hygiene, energy, increasingly implicated in epidemiological concerns emerging globally about and questions of energy, unsettling established understandings of how architecture relates to the environments we inhabit. This booklet brings together the outcomes of the CCA-WRI Research Fellowship Program 2022-2024, a collaborative initiative between the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) and the Wood Research Institute (WRI), organized around the theme and work Above/Below/Between: Light on a Damaged Planet. Over the course of three years, the program convened nine researchers from diverse disciplinary and geographic contexts. Rather than serving as a fixed agenda, the framework functioned as a shared lens through which contemporary phenomena of the built environment were examined from multiple, dialogic perspectives. This publication does not seek to advance a single argument or theoretical position. Instead, it traces how questions took shape and evolved through the research process. While the projects presented here stand independently, reading them in relation to one another reveals points of connection and overlap. Readers are encouraged to move back and forth across sections and approaches, allowing these relationships to emerge through comparison and exchange. »--Page 5
