Ambiances kinesthésiques et synesthésiques - Expérience d'un atelier de projet dans deux Écoles d'architecture au Brésil

Overview & Synopsis

Considering the "orders of simulacrum" (Baudrillard, 1991), the crisis that affects our sensorial experience and taking into consideration what type of student (architect by training) we want to train and develop nowadays, this article lends itself to present a didactic experience in two schools of architecture in Brazil. Our goal is to present some responses revealed by the role of kinesthetic (movement) and synesthesia (sense) in the understanding of the world and different relationships that come about with the operation of body experience in the "measurement" of a design product. We concluded that no visible approach, bet it immediate or not, can substitute the relations of body movement, and more, that experience is the basis for the work of interpreting all built worlds, which in turn produce differentiated energetic atmospheres.
