Architectural design practice and the sketchbook of the future
Research objective: Exploring textbook of future - using Jupyter Notebooks, one that is modular and reusable for MOOC, and community owned.
What will be the end result of the publication:
- Content
- An edited collection of articles - 6 or 8 articles (lowest number to make publication substantial enough to address topic)
- Form
- Home on GitHub repository
- Produced as Jupyter Notebooks (Book); multi-format - web (Github Pages), webbook (OSL flavor), EPUB, PDF, PoD
- Source available in a variety of reusable formats
- As knowledge graph
- Open licensed
- Production
- Released incrementally as articles and sections
- Made for MOOC and other reuse
- Made for participantion and community ownership
- Review
- Open peer review
- Editorial board
- Open Notebook Science
- Hypthosis open commenting
Target group for publication: 'Pedagogic architectural studio practice'- interaction and the body; city/urban data use; AI; robot control for 3D materials; 3D models; architecture and data. Note: In architecture there has been an ongoing discourse on the need for new forms of data driven, modular, collaborative publishing - driven by the dual questions of architects using so many digital tools and the cross disciplinary nature of design practice.

Ideas for contributions from OSL could be:
- Ina Blümel talking about how an architectural object visible in Wikidata
- André Castro and mapping publication in Wikidata to make a KG of a publication
- Sandra Mierz including work in DataCite Commons
- Nils Casties and Janine Doerry geolocative and architecture
