A Material-discoursive Abecedarium explores theoretical concepts essential to contemporary architecture and design practices. It proposes the establishment of an ‘abecedarium’ or alphabet of theory, a tool that could serve as a springboard to identify key terms foundational for contemporary architecture. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze’s interview series “L’abécédaire de G.D. A-Z,” the terminological reflections intersect with activism and the politics of space, challenging readers to consider the role of theoretical frameworks in shaping physical and social realities. How can an abecedarium translate complex ideas into accessible narratives that resonate with a broader public? The aim is to encourage the reflection on implications of theoretical concepts for real-world architectural practice, thus engaging in a dialogue between theory and practice. This dialogue is not merely academic but a vital exploration of how ideas influence and drive the creation, interpretation, and use of spaces.
