We will consider non-ocular aspects of built environments as well as their particular characteristics, like surfaces, acoustics, history, and other sensory impact.

This session places focus on perceiving architecture beyond the sense of vision and non-verbal descriptions of sensorial experiences.

Please bring a sketchbook and drawing materials of your choice. The building has no heating, please dress appropriately.
