Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

We often observe, define and interact with the human body as a collection of discreet and varied selves: biological, kinesthetic, phenomenological, physiological. This studio focuses on the constellation of ontologies that form our understanding of what it means to be human, and the corresponding impact these have on how we design and who we design for. 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 the built environment.
