Transbanana _ Research

NGO for the advancement of experimental Methods in
Architecture, Urbanism and Culture
Verein zur Förderung von experimentellen Methoden
in Architektur, Urbanismus und Kultur

This NGO for the advancement of experimental methods in architecture, urbanism and culture aims to promote and carry out interdisciplinary research projects, artistic productions, and the planning and implementation of bordercrossing projects on socio-spatial phenomena.

In particular, the cooperation between different scientific and artistic disciplines that have a research interest in the question of spatial production is to be intensified.

Transbanana _ Research was founded in 2020 and acts as the antipode of Transbanana. As an registered ngo-organisation it helps connecting and working with global academic research partners and other institutions. Furthermore, it is a funding-tool for Research-by-Design-Projects or Research-through-Practice-Projects and other activities, in particular in the field of experimental Cross-Urbanism.

Transbanana _ Research acts independently and autonomously. It is based in Vienna, however, the working space of the organisation is everywhere. This everywhere contains the real and the virtual world.

COST - European Cooperation in Science & Technology:

COST I Action CA 18136
"European Forum for Advanced Practices" (EFAP)

Margarethe Mueller: MC Member for Austria: 2020-2023
and part of Working Group 1: "Contexts"

Initially, the European Forum for Advanced Practices is an inclusive research network originating from universities, NGOs and community-based organisations, independent research entities, museums, and a wide range of arts academies. EFAP’s broad goal is to establish a dialog across the boundaries that often separate these contexts and to promote exchange with a focus on emergent forms of artistic- and practice-based research.
EFAP proposes an open notion of Advanced Practices that deliberately combine methods and practices from numerous disciplines. The goal of EFAP is to respond to two sets of urgencies:

1. Ever-more complex societal challenges across Europe demand new forms of knowledge exchange and transfer, as new research forms gain ground and new modes of research output become increasingly prominent.
2. This requires multidisciplinary and comprehensive methods to capture and assess their quality and impact in advance rather than retrospectively.

The initial proposers of EFAP have actively shaped contemporary research in the fields of visual art, art history, philosophy, music, theatre, dance and performance studies, architecture, design, and engineering.

EFAP’s mission is to broaden and deepen the range of settings, forms, and fields that can be identified or understood in terms of Advanced Practices.

Transbanana _ Research was the official organizer of the EFAP Research Meeting / field trip at Sao Miguel – Azores in 2023.

Transbanana _ Research got a LOS Grant from EFAP in 2023.
