ARTH-223 City Senses: Urbanism Beyond Visual Spectacle
Architecture and urbanism provide multisensory experiences of space that don’t necessarily privilege visual perception. This course explores alternative approaches to design and an understanding of the built environment through explorations of all the senses. We will read philosophical ideologies from different disciplines and the history and historiography of the senses across time and place. Through the identification of non-visual sensory markers (e.g. sounds of bells, smells of food, feelings of light and shade) found on campus, we will create a digital exhibition of interactive maps.
