Engaging in speculative endeavors beyond the confines of academia entails a deliberate focus on forging novel trajectories within the cognitive and knowledge-production realms of architectural research. It can be understood as an approach where research acts as a continuous path of inspiration and not (only) as a procedural tool for academic advancement. Within architectural doctoral studies, research by design and design driven research emerge as attitudes towards incorporating the artistic design processes in research, trespassing the scope of architectural research within academic boundaries.

This paper examines how armed conflict impacts the recalibration of Aleppo’s historic urban and cultural fabric, using the Al-Jdeideh quarter as a case study. This article critically reflects on the ongoing (post-)conflict, top-down (post-)reconstruction activities in Aleppo’s historic core, drawing on ethnographic research of visual mapping and semi-structured interviews with current Aleppo dwellers in the city and former dwellers displaced across Europe. Our findings highlight that the current reconstruction activities lack locals’ values and needs, and amplify the altered socio-economic dynamics between the (former) communities’ absence and presence. Therefore, these activities are resulting in a skewed representation of what once was a major hub of culture, commerce, heritage, and everyday life. As such, the paper argues that the current reconstruction attempts lack a comprehensive and context-specific approach, and need to explore more inclusive pathways of human-centered and sustainable recovery.

Smart cities continue to be discussed throughout Europe as a result of the continent's rising urbanization and the need for sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly promote this shift by assisting cities in becoming more effective, sustainable, and receptive to the requirements of their residents. This study examines the potential and difficulties of AI in urban development and presents a framework for incorporating AI into city planning and management. This study evaluates the advantages of AI in fostering public involvement, reducing costs, and enhancing city services, as well as the potential challenges related to data privacy, ethics, and socioeconomic imbalance. It does this by using examples from European cities. This study presents a set of ethical and inclusive AI criteria, such as transparency, inclusion, and accountability, to enable responsible AI research and implementation. It continues by emphasizing the need for efficient AI integration in smart cities and pushing for a holistic AI-enabled transition to inclusive and sustainable smart cities.

Ve středu 4. 12. 2024 se na akademické půdě Fakulty architektury ČVUT uskutečnila studentská vědecká konference Politiky architektury 4: Zájem obce, na níž se sešli zástupci samospráv českých měst a obcí se svými městskými architekty, instituty a kancelářemi architektury města se zástupci ministerstev, České komory architektů, stavebního byznysu, akademického sektoru i spolků a profesionálů z oblasti stavebnictví a vystavěného prostředí. Společným tématem konference byla reflexe Politiky architektury a stavební kultury České republiky (PASK). Konference byla zacílena na konkrétní výzvu PASK k podpoře vzniku místních a regionálních politik architektury a stavební kultury. Účastníci konference hledali v debatě odpovědi na aktuální otázky správy a rozvoje vystavěného prostředí. Formou mapování znalostí a výzkumů, příkladů řešení konfliktů a naplňování konkrétních potřeb a strategií s dopadem do území zkoumali, jakým aktuálním výzvám obce čelí, jaké mají prostředky k jejich řešení a jaké jsou nebo budou jejich Politiky architektury. Konference naplnila cíl obnovení dialogu aktérů péče o vystavěné prostředí a mapování aktuálního stavu znalostí a přístupů pro vytváření kvalitní stavební kultury. Zahájila tak cestu k přípravě lokálních a regionálních politik architektury, a také k příští aktualizaci celostátní PASK.

According to United Nations statistics for 2019, the number of people aged 65 or over is projected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. The global trend of population ageing will place pressure on countries in terms of infrastructure, social security, health care, public policy, and innovation in mindsets. Simultaneously, the development of digital technology has led to a variety of lifestyles and cognitive transformations that are not as widespread among the older population. In these challenging times, the need to reduce the gap between older adults and digital technology has become a crucial social issue, and Social Innovation, as the vital opportunity to solve intractable social problems, needs to be leveraged to address broader issues. This paper explores new approaches to social innovation in the digital technology age, based on the context of age-friendly community transitions. Through an analysis of digital practices in ageing communities, a process framework is proposed that provides a pathway for communities to become age-friendly and liveable, and enhance the quality of life of older residents, enabling them to become more involved in community development and resulting in sustainable improvements in their living environment.

In the 1950s and 60s, the Czechoslovak government prioritised heavy industry and energy, relying heavily on brown coal. The largest coal deposits were in the Ore Mountains foothills, and mining was the only activity in these areas, damaging the environment, the built environment, social structures, and public health. Mining was incentivised, increasing the quantity of coal mined and leading to overburdening. In the 1970s, the craze for coal was in full swing as cities were swallowed up one after another. Not even the royal City of Most was spared devastation. Once mining operations were conducted, the historic centre of Most was obliterated to expose over 85 million tons of coal. Soon after, the City of Most was subjected to mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR), but planners envisioned the new city as a model of sustainability. The city shrank, affecting its social and cultural aspects and causing the loss of historical heritage and local communities due to migration and landscape development. Consequently, it led to total ecological destabilisation, elimination of aesthetic values and reduced recreational potential in the City of Most. Therefore, the post-mining city is now called "landscapes without a memory". Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twin (DT) offer architects and planners new ways to collaborate with stakeholders, users, and other professionals. Immersive experiences have changed how ideas are presented and provide avenues for development. This research proposes a framework for using technology applications as a public participation tool to communicate development ideas and strategies for reclaiming the built environment of the resettled City of Most, Czech Republic, in line with sustainable development.

This paper explores a body-centered approach to understanding walkability, emphasizing walking as a sensory, spatial, and symbolic experience rather than merely a mode of mobility. Moving past conventional metrics that taper walkability to physical infrastructure, it reviews narrative and embodied research methods to examine how urban environments are perceived and experienced in relation to walkability. Using Prague as a case study, this paper underscores the importance of an expanded, experiential perspective—one that recognizes the complex interactions between bodily presence, spatial form, and urban atmosphere. It advocates for methodologies that engage with the lived, sensory dimensions of walking to more fully understand how walkability is shaped and experienced.
