Transdisciplinary field of study blurring conventional boundaries between theory and practice and merging the fields of visual arts and public culture, architecture and performing arts. The focus is on exploring design and artistic strategies in context of public institutions as well as emerging environments and autonomous spaces.
The department promotes:
a systemic approach to reading contexts and interpreting possible ecosystemic relationships, so as to be effective with strategic design actions
the explorative action as a transformative experience of mutual learning and exchange between us and the surrounding contexts (both human and non-human)
inhabiting transitional spaces as a way to foster empathy and self-organisation, thereby activating adaptive strategies for their re-use and communing
the performativity of the body and the re-appropriation of urban space
