This seminar teaches students to observe and record the world with all the senses and document those experiences in multiple ways: drawings, images, diagrams, audio and video recording, text, and 3D, digital, and physical modelling. Today’s world has to be understood and designed ‘inclusively’. To start this design learning process, Seeing Environment, equips students with strategies and operating tools to observe and record the environment around us in a multi-sensorial way.
The COVID-19 crisis challenged design students and instructors to adapt to a new online learning experience. This seminar rethinks the educational approach, introducing strategies to engage all of the senses, and prompting students to consider how these could be understood and represented from their “classroom” at home.
