Magnifying Small Spaces Studio

Catalog description

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.We will be working extensively with digital modes of observation and production, and hybrid forms of fabrication. You will be expected to work in both physical and digital materials and utilize muliple modes of exploration and production.
