brief
Introduction.. Building the body..
In this module you will investigate spaces, their dimensions and the human scale within space. You will zoom in, record, experiment and investigate. After observation, measuring, collating ergonomic data and technical tasks on scale, you will use this knowledge to create carefully considered body architecture; the para_site*; a thematic apparatus; inspired by your overall process, starting with the body, scale, materials, making and space.
What is body space? What could it be..? How can you show/design (and record) this?After considerate research, individually and in groups, you will source materials, experiment, draw/model body/space to scale, use concepts, design and record the project throughout.
Alongside drawing, measuring, ideas forming, making, understanding body and space through observation, drawing, surveying, recording; you will interact with space and peers through playful experimentation, discussion and teamwork. The module will lead you through a smörgåsbord[1]of activities, introducing you to creative thinking, technical skills, deeper knowledge of space, body, basic, forms and mechanics, materials and what it means to observe;really look, read and translate space, structure, yourself.. You will also make use of new making skills gained in the parallel module 1006AAD.
Keep a sketchbook throughout the project – use it for sketches, drawing and investigating ideas, notes and general creativeness! Set up a blog where you record your process. This project will include elements of collaboration with an international partner.
