Abstract:
The way we perceive built environment is through our own physicality – through our senses and through our body’s interactive movement, therefore I argue that an aesthetically more stimulating physical experience of a building will be produced if an effective connection to space through a more multi-sensory approach to architecture is recognized. Embodied systems are constantly being designed and re-designed through the interchange of information with the environment and people (Dourish 2001). Through a design experiment I tested possibilities to enhance and broaden participatory levels and not just reactive levels of adaptation in space. The behaviour-making process is part of the system itself or in other words that the system can evolve its own goals through a learning process.
