The CA²RE+ Delft conference
in a nutshell
Through its primary vehicle, the conference series, the CA²RE+ project is promoting Design Driven Doctoral research (DDDr) to institutions and other colleagues, strengthening the community of researchers working on the subject. The Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology, one of Europe's largest architecture faculties, offered the stage for this remarkable conference. The Delft's academic community with its multidisciplinary nature, spanning a wide range of disciplines, delivers an interesting platform for interactions based on the diverse topics and aspects that design-driven doctoral research entails.
The topic of RECOMMENDATION for Design-Driven Doctoral Research is the focus of the event in Delft. The theme explores and builds upon the previous CA²RE+ conference’s main matters. OBSERVATION and SHARING are the first two conferences part of the first phase of the CA2RE+ project called STRATEGIES. The second phase of the project named EXPERIENCES consists of the CA²RE+ conferences COMPARISON and REFLECTION. The third and last phase of the project, called FRAMEWORK, includes two conferences on REFORMULATION and this one on RECOMMENDATION.
An important purpose of the CA²RE+ Delft conference is to examine the results achieved so far attempting to formulate guidelines and recommendations for the establishment, introduction, development, and evaluation of DDDr. Taking advantage of the various experiences, discussions, and issues that occurred during the project, the CA²RE+ Delft provided the stage and opportunity for the partner universities to illustrate their positions and participate in the discussion to actively elaborate on the findings of the entire CA²RE+ network. In particular, we asked one responsible tutor and one doctoral candidate from each CA²RE+ institution to present and discuss their perspectives on DDDr, with a focus on recommendations. This was done mainly during the first workshop planned at the beginning, although in the course of the conference these positions seemed to be incorporated in the work of some doctoral candidates and reappeared in the discussions during the wrap-up workshop on the last day.
The following questions served as the event's thematic framework. Which CA²RE+ institution-wide approaches, tools, techniques, methods, testbeds, and principles have been established and can be recognized as shared? Can DDDr's diversity be made consistent by adopting a common frame? What distinguishes DDDr from other doctoral research practices? Where do we observe parallels and overlaps with other research practices and fields of knowledge?
The panel sessions serve as the event's main axis, just like in previous CA²RE / CA²RE+ conferences. Local PhD researchers and DDDr research experts exchange their experiences in these sessions. Findings and perspectives brought in by panel members and other attending participants enrich the discussions on each specific DDDr learning/supervision presentation. The CA²RE+ Delft event has been extremely fruitful for the 45 doctoral candidates presenting their research as well as for the other participants, whether online or in person. In addition, and next to the two workshops at the beginning and end of the event mentioned above, the conference included keynote lectures, one of which was given in conjunction with The Berlage, and a walking/talking tour of the city of Delft. The conference has been a unique experience in terms of both content and atmosphere. During and after the event in Delft, many attendees were enthusiastic and thrilled. Hopefully, this will have a positive impact on the CA²RE / CA²RE+ project's continuation and further development of DDDr.

Based on my proper approach on design experienced in our architectural practice ifau as well as on the design methods we develop and teach in our design studio at HCU in Hamburg, I am especially interested in a projective approach on architecture based on situative development strategies and relational practices, allowing to combine and process specific experiential knowledge and overarching societal issues.
