Special Edition Activity

Architecture Walk: «Sensing Bodies, Sacred Spaces» with Dan Klyn

February 21, 13:00-17:30 (incl. Lunch and Breaks)
Dan Klyn takes us on a walk to explore how understanding is a function of the situatedness of human bodies, material, and equipment in space. In 4 hours, covering 4 km and 1700 years of history, this workshop will enable consideration and direct comparison of phenomena and experiences in 3 different kinds of sacred space in Zurich.

Along the way, we'll encounter myriad opportunities to observe the ways that up-ness, down-ness, and adjacency effect meaning in the built environment, and to ask how these examples speak to the work we do on digital products and services.
