Power by space is a collection of experiments done by Corpo-real students. Corpo-real is located in Zwolle, where students and tutors develop a research-driven spatial design practice geared towards an unknown future.
Research question How can sounds influence our perception of a space? Can sounds have a calming effect when listened to? What do these sounds represent? Experiment Drawing to visualise the perception of the sounds. To explore this question, 5 people are requested to listen to 4 different sounds. While hearing
Introduction In this experiment we tried to investigate the influence of sound on spatial perception and orientation. The objective was to comprehend how different auditory stimuli impact the perception of space and aid individuals in understanding its dimensions. In the experimental setup, participants were blindfolded and exposed to three distinct
What happens when we behave in an unusual way in public? To find out, we did various experiments, including an exaggerated slow and fast walk, jumping jacks, and stopping at green lights. Results: • circumstances (place/ people etc.) play big role • how familiar are the surroundings? • there is
Research Question: How do different elements of sound (speed, tune, quality) influence movement patterns and spatial perception in individuals? Experiment We conducted an experiment to explore the relationship between sound, space, and movement. Participants listened to different repetitive sounds produced by various objects, such as balls moving in circular patterns.
Introduction We delved into the realm of smell and scents, exploring the unique concept of ”the aroma jockey”. Inspired by the pioneering work of Erich Berghammer, the inventor of scented clubbing, we set out to investigate the integration of scents with sound. Our research involved attending one of Berghammer’s performances
This research installation is our way to experiment with perceived reality. We tried to manipulate the participants in a soft and almost invisible way by mixing reality, a made up story, perspectives and times.
Research question Is sound a factor in how we perceive unpowerful spaces?What are the characteristics of sound in unpowerful spaces? Experiment To fully understand our task of spreading power through space, we first had to explore the power dynamics of space. We visited spaces we felt were inherently powerful, but
By different perspectives you can explore the power relation between the people. While interviewing a photographer, we discovered that nature has a lot of power in itself. The light and shadow make sure that something is highlighted. Different perspectives also play an important role in highlighting certain objects.
Research question How does each genre of music (Classical, Contemporary, and Minimal) influence the choice of colors and lines in participants’ drawings? Are there consistent visual elements that emerge across different participants’ drawings when they listen to the same genre of music? What patterns, if any, can be identified that
To research the spreading of power through space, we decided to focus on power through sounds. The projects contain many different methodologies, and findings. They have given us a broad understanding of sound and power. We invite you to take a look and see for yourself. Mirthe Bolt // Niloufar Ghalandari
Research questionHow can sound inform wayfinding in space?Can the sounds from powerful places be applied to other spaces and have a similar effect? Experiment To answer this question we first had to understand what kinds of sounds we hear in everyday life that cause us to react in certain
“Which Ones Have You Heard?” Wander with the melody and listen to the world in all its diversity. Every city, every country, has its own unique sound. whether it’s the bustling rhythm of daily life or a touch of romance in the air. Urban symphonies echo through every corner, day
This workshop was part of our ongoing research. During this workshop the participants experienced the relationship between power and space. The participants were devided into groups, working on the same keyword related to one of our lenses, Power and Health, Power and Reality and Power and Shelter.
What is the meaning of having a HEALTHY BODY in relation to POWER in SPACE ?
We made a simple tent structure and placed it at different locations throughout the city of Zwolle. With this research method we could quickly take over a space while trying to find a sense of belonging.
Introduction In this experiment, we aimed to investigate the impact of sensory deprivation and auditory stimulation on imagination and a feeling of escapism. Three participants were blindfolded and transported to an unfamiliar location. Once there, they were provided with headphones and instructed to explore the space using only their sense
Research question How does movements create the in between space of people? Experiment Personal space and in-between space. During the procedure, two participles base on the sounds of unpowerful space, making movements on the blank piece of paper. Besides, the participles applied the paint on foot in order to leave the
Part of our research started with an investigation of ourselves. What is the power that we have over other people and how do we express this? We spent some time interacting with each other in various ways and came to these conclusions: • power can be expressed through
Research question Does the song’s speed affect the way of walking and paying attention to the environment? Experiment We played a piece of music that was performed at different speeds for the participants and asked them to walk in the space while listening to the music. Findings Change in the
With the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, many people had to flee their homes. Spreading out among neighbouring countries, these people were desperately in need of help. To spread awareness within host countries we came up with a series of micro interventions, small in size – big in meaning.
Our habits are created by design and create design at the same time. It’s a matter of interaction. We have habits or even addictions in our modern lives. We are all at some point addicted to technology, even unthought and unconscious. We do everything with a designed gadget. I designed an experiment of living 7 days each day 6 hours without technology and stayed in various spaces to see how space can affect my addiction to my phone.
This series of drawings is about basic adaptations of a simple tent. Within this research we tried to uncover what different adaptations of the same tent could mean for the social structure of a small community. We noticed that different shapes result in different gatherings.
The Power of the Unknown Mi Jang, Chai Yu Chiu, JessY-Lee EsseLink, Case- Power and SpaceCorpo-Real, Master of interior architecture, ArtEZ, Zwolle, 2023 Read More Introduction The unknown is everywhere, from small things like unfamiliar tastes to big tasks like traveling in a new cultural country. Even nobody knows what
Research questionCan we bring the power back to the signs, by implementing them in playful ways into the interior of the space itself? Experiment After the experiment “Signs one”, results showed that the classic design of the sign does not work on human any more, even if being placed in
