    Trans-disciplinarity within the discipline
    Hinkel, R (QUT, 2005)
    Architecture, while desirous of maintaining its autonomy, has always been fascinated by other disciplines, and has frequently appropriated concepts and models from science, mathematics, philosophy, literature, and so on. Architectural education has likewise contributed to such interdisciplinary pursuits. This paper will argue that while the ongoing investigation into other disciplines is of great value to architecture, the capacities and tasks proper to architecture need to be examined in more depth. Architecture must negotiate ways of maintaining its autonomy while remaining permeable to the influence of other disciplines. This is specifically relevant when it comes to the area of design education, which in its own right collects together a number of specific disciplines, such as interior, landscape, urban design and architecture. Within my own practice, which is strongly related to my teaching experience, the concept of trans-scale, as well as the establishment of trans-disciplinary networks, has facilitated a greater understanding of the potentialities of architecture as both an autonomous and open discipline. In order to investigate what I call the trans-disciplinary possibilities of architecture I will present work undertaken in two design studios with students from RMIT University. The first design studio, undertaken with architecture students, was an examination of a minor context embedded in a major context, specifically the city of Stuttgart. The second studio, which I have more recently completed, is an interior design studio in which students are asked to study and design a public square in Melbourne in order to understand their discipline with respect to both the broader scale of the city, and the more discrete scale of public furniture and design object. With both exercises I address the idea of a relationship between the different design disciplines, ie interior design and urban design, and frame it with trans-disciplinary questions. For instance, what is the role of the history of a city and the context of a site on a design concept? How great could be the impact of furniture considered within an urban project?
