ARDETH
Architectural Design Theory
Multiple authors. Guest Curators: Dana Cuff, Jeremy Till, Andrès Jaque, Albena Yaneva among others

Unlike the many magazines that revolve around the architectural world, Ardeth concerns neither with outcomes (architecture) nor with the authors (architects). Ardeth concerns instead with their operational work, i.e. projects. The shift from subjects (their good intentions, as taught in Universities and reclaimed in the profession) to objects (the products of design, at work within the social system that contains them) engenders an analytical and falsifiable elaboration of the complex mechanisms that an open practice such as design involves. Through a process of disciplinary redefinition, Ardeth explores the falsifiability of design hypotheses as the object that allows the project to scientifically confront errors and approximations. In this context, by focusing on the effects and the process of the project, people are considered for their action rather than their intentions. Ardeth #1 is about Architectural Design Theory | Ardeth #2 is about Bottega Ardeth #3 is about Money | Ardeth #4 is about Rights | Ardeth #5 is about Innovation | Ardeth #6 (forthcoming) is about Contingency
