        • Synoptic Assemblages Guiding Urban Metabolic Transitions

        Abstract
        This contribution discusses synoptic urban landscape design drawings of an evolving project for sustainable mobility transformation in Houthalen-Helchteren. The drawings combine plans, transects and diagrams of process and actor constellations relating multiple transition dimensions crossing scales and space-time perspectives. As such they  construct and simultaneously integrate multidimensional perspectives on territorial urbanisation and resource interplays with the stakeholders involved. As a whole, the drawings might offer starting points for landscape and urbanism drawings beyond conventional representations such as blueprint master plans or functional land use zoning. As assemblages, they attempt to create synopsis: visually constructed synthesis. While acknowledging recent and renewing an interest in older urban design drawing and diagram formats to represent contemporary issues, their recalibration and synoptic assemblage as representational format is attuned and tested for contemporary challenges as guiding metabolic transitions.

      What does the author’s ‘owning’ of a project mean? And does this sense of ownership still prevail in contemporary architecture culture? Other more open forms of cooperation and co-creation are emerging alongside the concept of individual singular authorship.

      Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in this issue explore the field of tension between architectural aesthetics and issues of energy, technology and materiality. Ecological practices in architecture must not only be effective in providing solutions, but inevitably raise questions of beauty, affection and perception as well.
