SAD

Spatial Analysis & Design aims at the development of knowledge and theory that can support architectural design work, both on the level of buildings and the level of cities. Design work needs support both in its generative phase, when possible solutions to an architectural problem are formulated, and its predictive phase, when the performance of such solutions are evaluated. SAD aims at especially developing predictive knowledge and theory, keeping in mind that such theory also is of great support in the generative phase.

More specifically SAD aims at the development of such knowledge and theory from the point of view of social performance, that is how spatial systems influence social interaction and processes. On the level of buildings this can for example concern how office-buildings influence office-work by setting fundamental spatial relations that either support or hinder the work of the office organisation (Work Space Design program).

On the level of the city this can concern how the structure of urban form establishes different degrees of accessibility for different locations to such things as other people, economical services and green-areas (Urban Form program). Since the social performance of architecture is such a fundamental aspect of architecture in general, such knowledge and theory can also contribute to other areas of architectural theory such as theories of meaning in architecture (Performative of Public Space program).

What is essential to the social performance of architecture is architectural space since space is what people use. What gives structure and shape to architectural space is built form why the work of SAD can be sorted under architectural an urban morphology. This makes the methods and techniques for description and analysis of architectural space and form essential for the group. Such methods and techniques are not so common within architectural research as one would think, why SAD specifically aims at the development of such analytical tools.

In summary, SAD aims at contributing to the development of predictive knowledge and architectural theory on the social performance of architectural artefacts, through the analysis of architectural space and form, where such knowledge and theory both can support the generation of new architecture and the efficiency of new architecture to reach its goals. More generally SAD aims at developing architectural knowledge and theory that is able, not only to deepen our understanding and critique of architecture, but to deepen our understanding and critique of society.
