ZT 4.K15. The room is only ours every tuesday until friday. There will be theory classes in this seminar room every monday, so leave the space in perfect condition on friday evening!
Additionally, we have a "sub"-reservation of the Modellbauwerkstatt from the 7.3 until the 29.3. Those who have access can work there at a small capacity.
Overview and Objectives
The module 'Spatial Interaction' engages students with the notion of space from a specific metabolic perspective: we will look at Toni as if it was an organism with specific needs for its daily survival. This includes physical aspects like e.g. energy supply, food consumption, waste disposal, streams of people, but also processes in the domain of information, like internal and external communication, knowledge about its states, maintaining conceptual boundaries and transfers, directing internal and external perceptions, etc.., and last but not least social aspects like e.g. who uses the building and benefits from it and who is enabling the services and deals with which sort of tools, energies and information.
...
Students most of all learn about the constraints of working in and with public space and the tools/methods to track people's interactions and environmental changes. In addition, they learn how to connect spatial and conceptual complexities and structure their approach in relation to their project goals while iteratively adapting their methods.
