Little is known about the isotropic high-resolution 3D DWI application to q-space analysis. On the other hand, three-dimensional (3D) MRI, having the advantages of very thin slice thickness and no slice gap (contiguous slices), allows volumetric evaluation acquired in a small isotropic voxel, as compared to 2D multislice imaging.

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is performed by a two-dimensional (2D) multislice method however, due to finite slice thickness and slice gap, there is a partial-volume effect that makes it difficult to detect the net q-space signal. Average displacement, one of the q-space parameters, quantitatively reflects architecture size and is very useful in observing small changes in microstructures in vivo (e.g., neurodegeneration, tumor heterogeneity, and others).
#Qspace architecture series
Here, we hand over to a series of invited contributions and originally commissioned pieces which engage with the work of this project and offer something new in return.High b-value diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables us to detect far smaller architectures, by using q-space analysis, than the resolution in conventional MRI. Race, Space & Architecture is a hostess of engagements. We are interested in lively thought, the fuzzy edges of ideas-in-formation and the crafting of weird ruptures which bring to the fore that which ordinarily lies beyond. We see this platform huddling in amongst these works, adding to the chorus such that all our voices might be amplified. GSM4Q Towards an Artificial Architecture About Superintelligent Space.pdf (440.8Kb) Date 2021. These bright lights have been navigational stars, providing realms of thought which we have sought to signal boost, bring into dialogue with one another and reflect on in this work. Race, Space & Architecture is a platform of constellations: projects, ideas, writings and provocations that have and continue to inspire this work. Race, Space & Architecture is a gathering of soundings: gifted by contributors to the curriculum and students who are already engaging with its themes. Race, Space & Architecture is a poster series: to be printed, packaged and posted, pandemic permitting, and freely offered open access to print at home meanwhile. How is ‘race’ configured differently across space, and how can a more expansive understanding of entangled world space broaden our imagination for teaching.What are the inventive repertoires of refusal, resistance and re-making that are neither reduced to nor exhausted by racial capitalism, and how are they spatialised?.What are the spatial contours of capitalism that produce racial hierarchy.Race, Space & Architecture is an open access curriculum shared as a work in progress. Here, we engage with three questions: This is a project of many voices and, as the visual language of the platform speaks to, of many hands, minds, bodies and imaginaries too. Care for the contributions of text, image, film, drawing and all of the labour – physical and intellectual – which this entails.

Race, Space & Architecture is a project a long time in the making. Manufactured in the magic, elastic now-now time of Southern Africa (from where its creators all hail), this is a site which has been pressed into being with care.
