AIMS
To explore the evolving body-space relationship in public and private through an architectural and urban experiential journey, imagining design improvements that integrate urban and architectural perspectives and examining how the blend of in-person and digitally mediated reflections shapes the experience of architectural spaces and urban actions.
METHOD
Students will be invited to carry out an architectural and urban journey involving their private and public space, mapping and highlighting the salient places of the body-space relationship and trying to imagine site-specific design improvements, questioning the in-presence/digital perspective of the experience of architectural space as well as urban-scale actions.
TECHNIQUE
Through in-first-person interactions and multilayered/multimodal descriptions and interpretations, the WS will raise participants’ awareness of the acting and acted body-space relationship and invite them to question the critical issues and possibilities for improving this relationship, maturing an attitude towards a creative approach to the everyday-life experience of the space.
STRENGTHS
Cross-cultural exchange.
Analytical and synthetic introspection.
Development of site-specific architectural and urban micro-projects through the application of critical thinking.
Documenting an urban/architectural project and presenting it orally and visually.
