Corona update: The module takes place over 5 weeks, from 24.03.20 to 24.04.20.
Initial information before Corona curfew: The module takes place over 6 weeks, from 17.03.20 to 24.04.20, from Tuesday to Friday, 9.30-17.00 - see timetable below for detailed hours and classrooms. Class sessions include lectures, discussions, mentoring sessions, in-class exercises, assignments and independent study blocks. Projects are conducted individually or in a team of three students at most.
Corona update: At home and here: https://zhdk.zoom.us/j/4710337215
Initial information before Corona curfew: ZT 4.K16. (on some few days: 5.K07). Additionally, we have a reservation of Modellbau Projekte ZT 2.E20-UU.
The module 'Spatial Interaction' challenges students to deepen their practical and conceptual knowledge of human interactions in their immediate surroundings. Starting from a location in Zurich where public life and „tamed nature“ overlap, they will develop spatio-technical frameworks for situated interactions. The student projects will connect people and environmental processes with the aim of investigating local impacts of urban (or everyday?) behavior as well as long-distance effects of individual actions. They will learn how to interface the present mesocosm (collecting environmental data, identifying relationships) and how to experiment with advanced techniques like remote sensing or machine vision. Designing in such situations requires the development of strategies for public outreach and communication as well as basic knowledge about intervening in complex systems. In addition, students learn how to connect spatial and conceptual complexities and structure their approach in relation to their project goals while iteratively adapting their methods. Students will work in groups and in a form of self-governed organization developed specifically for this course.
