The workshop asks students to consider the body as a tool for decon- structing the principles that shape our material and immaterial worlds. Through physical and theoretical explorations the workshop navigates the intersections between bodies, space, movement, composition, structure and medium. Beginning the workshop with physical exercises, investigating our own moving body, a heightened awareness of bodies and their relationship to each other and the spaces and architecture that they move through is created. During the second part of the workshop we take this heightened body awareness into the design studio and use it as a starting point for the creation of both personal and interpersonal spaces and structures.
This version of Body X Design, “Bodystorm” was created in collaboration with Lotte Van Gelder for the Inter - Architechture Department at Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
