Consciousness of Design: Transforming the Academic Environment

Employing didactic design, this thesis seeks to explore advances in traditional design teaching methods to provide architecture students with hands-on interactive learning environments. These methods are emphasized through the human body's connection to architecture. Traditionally, higher education puts a focus on cognitive knowledge with a disregard to the bodily experience. The proposed academic design curriculum allows students to learn how to design using multi-sensory interactions with the built environment.
