INTENTIONS & UN-INTENTIONS Carolyn Butterworth Carolyn teaches architecture design and theory at the University of Sheffield. She is a member of Agency, a research centre that explores activities related to transformative research into architectural education and practice. Her teaching and research focuses upon ways in which architects can learn from other site-specific disciplines such as installation and relational art, performance and archaeology to develop new ways of working with social, physical and political contexts. Her PhD by Design investigates the opportunities to redefine the site survey as a transformative and collaborative tool; focusing on performative survey techniques where potentialities of site are revealed by acting on site with other people. www.sheffield.ac.uk/architecture/research/agency/index www.sheffield.ac.uk/architecture/people/butterworth_c
