\nTitle<\/strong>
\nHaptic architecture\/haptic installation<\/p>\n

Participation<\/strong>
\nIndividual <\/p>\n

Context<\/strong>
\nThe scale of the detail, furniture and the building<\/p>\n

Credits<\/strong>
\n5 ECTS points<\/p>\n

Inspiration<\/strong>
\nThis course uses a specific essay as a source of inspiration: \u2018The Eyes of the Skin’, written by the Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa. The author wishes to express the significance of the tactile sense for our experience and understanding of the world, but he also intends to create a conceptual short circuit between the dominant sense of vision and the suppressed sense modality of touch.<\/p>\n

The essay was initially based on personal experiences, views and speculations. Pallasmaa had become increasingly concerned about the bias towards vision, and the suppression of other senses, in the way architecture was conceived, taught and critiqued. He was also worried about the consequent disappearance of sensory and sensual qualities from the arts and architecture.<\/p>\n

Educational philosophy<\/strong>
\nI propose an investigation into \u2018haptic architecture and tactile senses\u2019 from an architectural perspective. I expect the international character and cultural differences of the participating students to give the topic \u2018haptic architecture and tactile senses\u2019 a new dimension, translated into a \u2018haptic installation\u2019.<\/p>\n

Methodology<\/strong>
\nThe spatial designer translates their ideas into shape, space, materials, light, etc. All these aspects have a direct link to the senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, balance. Some materials can be light or shiny, but how does it feel, what sound does it make, what are the properties of that material and what effects does it have on people?<\/p>\n

We will investigate all these aspects by obtaining knowledge through lectures, field studies including temporary sensory disabilities (experiencing the absence of certain senses), research into different materials and by making new materials.<\/p>\n

We will also read \u2018the eyes of the skin\u2019 from Juhani Pallasmaa in class together.<\/p>\n
