Ground Conditioning
Surveillance Practices | F15
Professor Brian Osborn
This studio focused on the design of site-reading methodologies. I first employed direct and remote sensing technologies to explore the cyclical exchange of energy between ground and air. My project then explored the potential of conceiving the human body itself as a type of environmental sensor that can be activated by surface form and materiality. How can the choreography of ground conditions encourage novel—or at least alternative and more playful—patterns of movement? What are the reciprocal effects of that movement on the site that precipitates them?
