Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: None
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: This course has two aims. The first one is to demonstrate the students the overlaps between everyday architecture and performance spaces. Instead of a pragmatically defined task of containing bodies, architecture can provide a stage, where different media can be animated and used to articulate space as an event place. From this foundation of a phenomenological approach, the second aim is to design a “stage,” or a performance space as a vessel in which a story could be communicated by multi-media tableaus.
Course Contents: The course includes a survey component where we discuss interaction between theatrical and architectural spaces and also a design component where students design a setting for the performance of a theatrical event.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- The student learns to look at architectural space as a performance space by incorporating narrative into architecture
  • 2- The student learns interdisciplinary design by interacting with stage designers, actors, artists and interior designers
  • 3- The student learns interdisciplinary design by interacting with stage designers, actors, artists and interior designers
  • 4- The student learns materials and lighting design
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: Lectures supported by short films, discussions, student assignments (written and designed), student presentations, field trips
