ARC1161 : Architecture Studio I: Sense and Sensing Space
Semester 1
Space
““… Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.” If a void is the nothingness that is absent, space might be understood as the nothingness that is present...”
Wallace Stevens’s poem, 1921.
Sense of and Sensing Space. This course aims to introduce architecture to students through one of basic units of architecture: “space”. Its first objective being “Making sense of space”, by understanding definition, creation and character of space. The second being “Sensing space”, by understanding human interaction with the created space, exploring how human senses captures, processes and reacts to the character of space.
