In this workshop we will learn to understand design as the creation of atmospheres. For this we will enter three atmospheres of fragility that we can encounter during our lives. In the sections psychiatry, retirement home and cemetery we will consciously experience atmospheres, describe them and design for them.

«fragile atmospheres – an exploration of body, object and space»
Workshop @ZHdK for
Masterstudents in Design:
Trends&Identity

Interaction Design
Game Design

«As designers, we are significantly involved in creating a sense of well-being. Through our work, we help to determine how we feel in an environment. Especially in fragile life situations, the relevance of aesthetic work in relation to emotional experience is increasingly becoming the focus of (design) research.
The question is not what the world we make looks like, but rather how it feels. „Moving away from assessing what you perceive to what you feel: Atmospheres.„*
In this workshop we will learn to understand design as the creation of atmospheres.
For this we will enter three atmospheres of fragility that we can encounter during our lives. In the sections psychiatry, retirement home and cemetery we will consciously experience atmospheres, describe them and design for them. The experimental field research will be supported by theory inputs as well as practical case studies by researchers from design and cultural studies and current studies from atmospheric research.»
