This seminar proposes a collective investigation based on immersive architectural projects, ranging from a baroque chapel to an augmented reality arena. By attempting to find a common definition of what is meant by the notion of immersion in the field of architecture, we will draw up an atlas of projects that go beyond a classic tectonic and rational reading of architecture.

The seminar focuses on the etymology and use of terms. It engages students to interrogate words and notions in order to understand the historical and theoretical implications related to the digital. The seminar aims to be a collective and shared work through the edition of a common lexicon.

The seminar investigates a long term tradition of modeling in architecture dedicated to measure building’s performances.Through weakly readings, class discussion and visits we will explore different ways to experience architecture at little scale. Conveying virtual and empirical tools, aesthetic and technical goals, the practice of modeling allow a transversal reading on architectural history.

This seminar proposes a collective investigation based on immersive architectural projects, ranging from theaters, dioramas, cabarets and clubs, to virtual reality arenas. Based on targeted research and the collection of various documents, we will draw up an atlas of projects that go beyond a classical tectonic reading of architecture to explore different ways of simulating the environment.
