FREE PUBLIC PROGRAM
Body Conscious Design
This three-hour free workshop involves direct experience of designing from the point of view of the body. Somatics (a combination of sensory, psychological, and cultural awareness) and experiential anatomy are briefly explained, and then experienced through a carefully crafted sequence of exercises. Group discussion about design implications for all scales, from object to building to landscape, concludes the workshop.
Guest Lecturer: Jader Tolja, M.D., from the Domus Academy of Design, Milan, and author of
Bodythinking.
