L’engagement corporel, une démarche du projet architectural. Pédagogie pluridisciplinaire et immersive des ambiances architecturales

Our starting point is the established fact that learning the architectural design primarily on an intellectualised and rationalist approach too often leads to a lack of contact with lived reality. We propose to the Strasbourg school of architecture students sensory and emotional experiences to live architecture. These experiences put them in a position of ‘floating attention’ with the goal to let the ‘unthought’ come, starting from the feeling of their own presence. They open a passage between feelings and words, between the sensitive real-life experience and the practice of the project. The sharing of the experiences leads to the characterisation of the atmospheres of a place

Teaching the sensory experience of architecture is a necessity as the means of design features become increasingly immaterial. For this reason, a method based on a principle of active pedagogy is proposed, where the student learns by acting, based on interactions between the body and the atmosphere of a place. A first step is to investigate the atmosphere through physical exercises, designed to retain the attention of students. A second stage asks them to provide the results of the investigation through the design and the realization of an embodied performance. This article summarizes the work of students in first and second year of Master’s degree at the Graduate School of Architecture of Strasbourg, immersed in the spaces of the Malraux multimedia library in Strasbourg
