Sensing Spaces

Go to the exhibition

A multidisciplinary symposium held in conjunction with the exhibition 'Sensing Spaces: Architecture Reimagined'.

The exhibition 'Sensing Spaces: Architecture Reimagined' challenges the assumed primacy of the visual in architecture through presenting seven immersive installations designed to resonate with the senses on a variety of levels. This symposium seeks to unpick and develop the ideas, issues, implications and assumptions the exhibition poses.
