PERFORMING
INTERIORITY

•

Calling for a creative space shaping process, this studio focuses on how interiority is maintained and revealed in public space. Through the charting of body movements, it queries how inner freedom can add meaning to place. Answers to this question will be found in the process of observing, tracing, mapping time and distance. Exploring the unique porosity of Venice, a city between water and land, students have a unique opportunity to engage with interior and exterior conditions and how freedom of movement can shape novel spatial conditions and new parameters for architectural design.
