SensponsiveArchitectureWorkshop.mov
The Sens[e-Res]ponsive Architecture Workshop took place during 22-29.08.2011 at the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Crete in Chania, Greece.
The workshop was taught by an interdisciplinary team of designers and theorists from Harvard, MIT, TU Delft, University of East London (UEL), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) and the Technical University of Crete (TUC).
The overall discourse of the workshop revolved around the contextual and material frameworks of mediums, tools and techniques to create sensponsive environments that extend from useful to collaborative, developing a sense of their own.
This year's theme involved the design of an intriguing space for children with responsive partitions. The scenarios our students addressed were related to the following three topics:
1. Life-cycles: Create spatial configurations to help children understand the notions of 'time' and 'change' through play.
2. Storytelling: Create spatial configurations to help children develop their narrative and memory skills through play.
3. Traces: Create spatial configurations to help children understand their body by getting feedback from the movement of its parts through play.
