Overall Educational Objective

To understand the body's connection to the universe and space by exploring the ways in which elements and matter give form to both the human body and the built environment.

Course Description

This course is centered around the premise that the quality of our connection with "space" is influenced by our connection with our own bodies. It delves into various aspects of spatial experience, uncovering multiple dimensions of the experiential journey through somatic and immersive practices.

2) critically evaluate and analyze architectural structures by considering the elemental aspects that shape their composition;
3) understand the mechanism of elemental processes in the body and architectural structures;
4) develop a distinct perspective towards the design process in the design studio and towards the designs created and to be created.
