| 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. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu ders, "mekan" ile olan ilişkimizin niteliklerinin, kendi bedenimizle olan ilişkimiz tarafından belirlendiği temeline dayanmaktadır. Ders, somatik ve kapsayıcı beden pratikleri aracılığıyla deneyimsel yolculuğun çeşitli boyutlarını ortaya çıkararak, mekansal deneyimin çeşitli yönlerine derinlemesine iner. |
