Experiences of Spatial Design - On the experience of designed spaces of culture, leisure and tourism

This seminar track addresses how spatial design is experienced. It explores the intended and unintended effects of spatial design on user experiences, and takes into consideration social, psychological, physical, sensorial, emotional and affective issues.

It engages with the complexity and unpredictability which emerges when designed places, spaces and environments are put to use. It engages with differences between design logic and use logic; with conscious counteraction and emergent unpredictability; with error, complexity and multiplicity; with multimodal design, cross media design, and hybrid spaces.

Places and practices of culture, tourism and everyday leisure are in focus, and places to explore may count: shopping malls, museums, mobile campers, parks, waterworlds, beaches tourist sites, resorts, amusement parks, ... and other places and spaces of the cultural- and experience economy.

Organizers / editors: Keld Buciek and Connie Svabo, MOSPUS, RUC.
