Congratulations to Professor Philip Plowright , Chair of the Department of Design at the Lawrence Tech College of Architecture and Design.
Professor Plowright was invited to present the Presidential Colloquium at the LTU 12th annual Research Day on Friday, April 19, at 8:00 am EST.
Dr. Plowright's research has centered around cognitive processes in design, especially as applied to design methods, teaching and learning. Dr. Plowright is an architect and design theorist whose research is focused on cognitive semantics, social semiotics, conceptual processes, and methodology focused on the built environment. His most recent book is Urban Design Made by Humans (Routledge 2023) co-authored with Dr. Anirban Adhya. Earlier works include Making Architecture Through Being Human (Routledge 2020), Revealing Architectural Design: Methods, Frameworks & Tools (Routledge 2014) and chapters on theoretical issues of wilderness and sustainable design in Architecture and Sustainability: Critical Perspectives (ACCO 2015) and Sustainability and the City: Urban Poetics and Politics (Lexington Books 2017). His award-winning design work has been published in many academic proceedings, journals, and popular architectural magazines.
Dr. Plowright’s presentation is titled “Where You Stand Matters: Space as an Interdisciplinary Paradigm.” Moving from cognitive processes and the building blocks of human thinking, Plowright will present foundational research that links fundamental thinking structures to how humans make sense of their world, create meaning, and bring new things into the world. The exploration starts with how language and the built environment are intimately entwined, and then expands through an interdisciplinary discussion that will touch on cognitive linguistics, architecture, social geography, spatial semiotics, urban design, and computational design.
All Research Day events are free and open to the public, but registration is requested.
