The papers were initially presented at the International conference<em> Architecture as H</em><em>uman Interface</em> in Helsinki, 26-27 October 2012. The conference was organised by the Finnish Association of Architects, together with the departments of architecture at the Aalto University, Oulu University and Tampere University of Technology, the Department of Construction at Novia University of Applied Sciences, Finland and KTH/Architecture, Sweden. Kimmo Lapintie, Professor at Aalto University, closed the conference, and summarised it by the formulation of a four-point statement, <em>The Helsinki declaration on Architectural Research.</em> The declaration forwards creativity and criticism as the fundaments for architectural research.</p> ER -
