Ethnography in Architectural Research

Agim Kërçuku, Gennaro Postiglione

This book presents an investigative method, a story that recounts interactions between people and practices within an urban space, and a collection of observations of the city’s daily life and its inhabitants. By employing research methods drawn from Anthropology and Architecture, an ensemble of PhD students and teachers from the Polytechnic of Milan and TU Delft participated in the Research Workshop within the AUID PhD Program, focusing on exploring the Mercato dell’Isola in Milan. The collective work aimed to understand the relationship between everyday life patterns, spatial organization, and the social life of buildings and public spaces. In particular, the exercise attempts to observe the city from the unusual perspective of the elderly population. This proposal aims to create a rich tapestry of knowledge that intertwines ethnographic research with architectural considerations surrounding aging in urban settings. The goal is to connect research and architectural design with the implications of the demographic transition in contemporary cities.
