IN 2008 WE ORGANIZE A WORKSHOP-EXCHANGE*
[scroll down for details]
*N.B. For this workshop 20 students from a foreign university will be invited to join us as participants.
Later on we will go to that university for a week for another workshop there.
POETRY AND ARCHITECTURE
WORKSHOP THEME
In the workshop titled: “Poetry and Architecture”, poetry stands for experience.
The workshop-theme concerns the experience of architecture, in both physical and psychological sense. We are organizing a variety of activities and lectures to study the sensory experience of space, both in a hard-scientific way as well as through a softer empiric approach.
From there we can furthermore not deny to consider the influence of the linguistic –or otherwise cerebral– conceptual mediation of experience, by both subjective and intersubjective cognition. (The latter may ultimately connect this workshop through art, science and the present-day ubiquitous media to our earlier training-course on Architecture and Society.)
In this respect poetry takes in an interesting position, since poems are in a way ‘purely’ linguistic constructs, which as such can evoke an emotional or experiential response. Therefore poetry will will not just be a metaphore within this workshop: we will also give it literal presence in order to inspire us refreshingly.
