DEA 2201

Magnifying Small Spaces Studio

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

We often observe, define and interact with the human body as a collection of discreet and varied selves: biological, kinesthetic, phenomenological, or physiological. This studio will focus on the constellation of ontologies that form our understanding of ourselves, and the corresponding impact these have on our perception, habitation, and construction of space. At the core of our work will be the question of whether engaging the body as a manifold of ontologies allow designers to better understand and construct our built environment. If so, then how might we build processes and methods that include a diverse set of human and nonhuman selves.
