Marie Davidová, MArch, MNAL, Ph.D., SF HEA is a transdisciplinary systemic and urban designer, designer, architect, researcher and educator fighting for Planetary Health. She is recently an Independent Junior Research Group Leader at the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC, University of Stuttgart, based at the Institute of Social Sciences. Before that, she has been a lecturer (teaching & research) at the Welsh School of Architecture (WSA) and an affiliate of the Sustainable Places Research Institute at Cardiff University. She is a member of the Biodiversity and Resilience Action Plan Committee at the same university. Marie is a founding member and chair of Collaborative Collective practice design–research network NGO, a founding and board member of Systemic Design Association and a founding member and auditor of the Creative Systemic Research Platform Institute. She proved her university teaching proficiency when becoming a Senior Higher Education Academy Fellow (SF HEA) in 2020. This international teaching certification is based on her research within the field of practice–based research by design pedagogy that involves the real–life implementation of Systemic, Urban, Interaction and Service Design, Prototyping, CoDesign, and Empathy.
Marie defended her PhD thesis ‘Wood as a Primary Medium to Eco–Systemic Performance: The Case Study in Systemic Approach to Architectural Performance’ (Davidová, 2017) in Architecture and Urbanism in January 2018 at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the Faculty of Architecture (FA CTU), MOLAB Department. The Thesis was developed under the supervision of Miloš Florián (FLO|W) and Birger Sevaldson (Systemic Design Association / Ocean Design Research Association) and represented an in–depth case study investigation within Systemic Approach to Architectural Performance (SAAP) architectural and urban design field. In this department, Marie was also collaborating as a scientific consultant in studios FLO|W, and PET–MAT between 2013 and 2017. Before joining WSA, she was a researcher and principal investigator of projects SAAP I and II held at the Faculty of Art and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec (FUA TUL) in cooperation with the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO).
Marie gained her master’s degree in architecture (2007) at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. The thesis ’HOLOSLO – The Penetrating of Latent’ (Davidová, 2007) developed under the supervision of Birger Sevaldson (Ocean Design Research Association) and Per Kartvedt (Archigram) was focusing on an environment–responsive urban installation and was developed with Systems Oriented Design. Marie worked as an urban designer, architect and interaction design exhibition architect in design–research practices Snøhetta and Expology in Oslo and researched and taught as a university lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art at the University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (NTNU). As a Visiting Course Leader, she taught trans–disciplinary studios in collaboration with the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences; at both the Architectural Institute in Prague and FUA TUL. For her built prototypes – ‘eco–systemic urban interventions’ – in public space, Marie founded a multi–genre community festival EnviroCity to promote her research and sustainable cities to the public. Her most recent projects ’Synergetic Landscapes’, ‘COLreg’ and ‘COLife’ propose communal more–than–human regenerative coliving and its related new economic model via blockchain and other tokens through AI.
Marie founded the Systemic Approach to Architectural Performance (SAAP) research by codesign field. This field discusses the question of cities’ adaptation to climate change and biodiversity loss. Current environmental ecology research shows that species that adapted to agricultural land hundreds of years ago recently adapted to life within the cities. Our agricultural land has become so toxic due to pesticides, etc., that the built environment now offers them better living conditions. Our cities, therefore, need to adapt to such coliving situation. The research demonstrates such adaptations through full–scale ecosystemic prototypical urban interventions, their and the ecosystem’s tokenisation and the prototypes’ historical context studies. It considers the prototypes’ design and creation process and their performance within the ‘real–life’ environment. The research covers observations of prototypes’ generative codesigning agency across the ecosystem and speculations of their futures. The agency proposes more-than-human persective, including human and non–human, living and non–living communities. Further, the work reaches a larger scale and layer by spreading its parametric DIY recipes and codes for prototypes’ locally adapted iterations for communities worldwide.
SAAP is a fusion of process–based fields formally initiated by the integration of Systems Oriented Design and Performance–Oriented Architecture. It develops methodology and generates theory through experimental practice. SAAP involves Time Based EcoSystemic TransDisciplinary CoDesign performed by biotic and abiotic agents, including humans. It belongs to the broader field of Systemic Design, considering the overall ecosystem. Marie has held guest lectures, presentations, and workshops in this field across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, where she is also widely published and exhibited.
