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.

Exploring public space

Mapping places where you can connect and places where you can be private. No connection, more quiet place, lass traffic flows Back cover, as much protection as possible, not in the middle. Sit or stand?

In between space with footprint

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

Sounds around the world

“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

Research installation

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.

Hidden Gems of Zwolle

“Our exploration of Zwolle’s city center revealed places that often escape the attention of both locals and visitors such as quiet corners, overlooked details, and unplanned beauty that lays in the everyday. We call them hidden gems, the spaces that invite to pause and reflect with a sense of curiosity.

Physical body

What is the meaning of having a HEALTHY BODY in relation to POWER in SPACE ?

Weather and Emotions

Emotion-weather maps are a type of thematic map used to represent emotions. The maps represent spatial distributions of complex emotions from a large group of people. Most related work focuses on a simple sentiment and draws its distributions on a map. I feel unstable when I experience this structure. Every line

Space, Power and Addiction

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.

Protection

With this research we explored new spatial embodiment. The aim was to find new types of shelters and how a shape can adapt to its need.​

Table of emotions

TABLE OF EMOTIONS To investigate the subject of symbols in space further, we decided to translate the symbolic act of putting things on the table into a physical table in which emotions could be placed inside, so it would become a table that holds emotions. We worked with miniatures because

Experiment: Intimidate & Empower

  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

What our hands can do

WHAT OUR HANDS CAN DO For the next phase of our process, our group went to a clay studio together. We wanted to make miniatures to carry our emotions. The reason we choose clay is that clay can make it easily the exact shape we want to create in this

Power of the Audio Codes

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

Emotion body map

EMOTION BODY MAP First we came up with the idea to translate our expressions we were working with in semester one, how do you carry emotional weight? We wanted to work with symbols that came out of our interest in doing research through space. In space. In spaces, symbols are everywhere.

Embodied research

EMBODIED RESEARCH “Our possessions are a major contributor to and reflection of our identities” Belk, Russell W. “Possessions and the Extended Self.” Journal of Consumer Research 15, no. 2 (1988): 139–68. http://www.jstor.org/stable/2489522. Our project started with the point of power that has come with devices. Devices, especially phones, have a

Navigating space through sound

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

Record powerful places

Research question Is sound a factor in how we perceive powerful spaces?What are the characteristics of sound in powerful spaces? Experiment To fully understand our task of spreading power through space, we first had to explore the power dynamics of space. Some spaces are identified as inherently powerful. Still interested

Escapism through the senses

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

Sound maze

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

Power of the Senses

In the realm of architecture, the exploration of our senses holds immense potential to unlock new dimensions of consciousness and pleasure. As we present our collective endeavors, we invite you to embark on a captivating journey. Through a series of groundbreaking experiments, we have delved into the intricate workings of

Power through Humour

How can we make the power of humour usable? To answer this question, we tried to understand the relationship of power and humour by researching through both theoretical desk research and practical experiments. Our topics developed from body language and awkwardness to an investigation of professional comedy, until we studied

Experiment: Extreme Slow/ Fast Walk

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
