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.
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.
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.
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?
With this research we tried to explore new spatial embodiment.
For this experiment, we opted to explore body movement and language through our unique approach. Our methods were centered around Arabic gestures, performative storytelling, and the expressive language of music. https://youtu.be/3_8mZwivH2I 1. Arabic Gestues The objective of this experiment is to provide participants with an educational experience regarding non-verbal communication
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
Research questions What sounds are hidden within a space and its materials and objects? How do different materials produce different sounds when struck or interacted with? Experiment In this experiment, we aimed to explore the power of sound within different spaces byutilizing various materials and objects. We conducted this experiment
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
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
Intuitively exploring unknown places without the use of technology When thinking of harmful habits, the use of screens and technology was one that popped into mind quite quickly. When applying this habit to wayfinding and exploration, we noticed that a lot of us rely on applications such as Google Maps
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.

In the early stages of exploring how the pace can affect on attention and interaction of people in a space, we started to observe people’s movements in public spaces and for the documentation we used different ethnographic modules like sketching, photography and video recording. Then we came up with two
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
Our experiment on inefficient listening examined the interplay between power and space. In a basement setting, we deconstructed the elements of Bohemian Rhapsody, dispersing individual instruments into separate spaces. To hear the entire song, participants had to navigate swiftly through the fragmented areas. This experiment highlighted the power dynamics inherent
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 Question: How do everyday habits, rituals, and patterns influence our behaviour in space, and what happens when we interrupt them? Experiment Approach: The experiment used self-observation and everyday-life intervention. By documenting our repeated behaviours and intentionally disrupting selected patterns, we reflected on changes in awareness, feelings, and behaviour. The
Observation (interview) Lisanne Amina Tian Allium 1- thought it’s about waiting 1- she was confused at the beginning2- she felt like she was standing for a long time doing nothing 3- she was waiting for us to tell her what to do 1- was afraid something sudden happens 2- appeared to her like an Escape
The inspiration for this experiment originates from the Museum of the Future in Dubai, where the museum’s walls are adorned with intricate Arabic calligraphy. This creates a uniquely multidimensional linguistic space, blending visual and verbal elements. The engraved Arabic calligraphy not only serves as an aesthetic feature but also as
How well do we know the city we live in? We are looking for the power of interruptions, bodies or instructions on habits. How can we change the usual, the habit, and what does someone need to be willing to change their usual? And how does this work in city
We tested different parts of our previous research with this life sized installation. The shelter adapted to a space within an already existing building. With this we made a more livable place taking protection, privacy and comfort into account.
Research Question: How does the absence of instruction (knowledge) influence people’s behaviour within a group where others have specific instructions? Experiment Approach: The experiment used body intervention and comparative testing, creating different levels of knowledge within the same group. After the first test, we simplified the instructions and repeated the
Our non-verbal communication experiment marks the initial step towards understanding the efficacy and potential limitations of gestures as a medium for effective communication. We aimed to explore the extent to which non-verbal cues can bridge communication gaps across individuals with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Key questions include identifying the
We noticed that our results from the first power relations experiment may be not entirely representative, as our classmates knew what we were researching (if you have not seen it, click here). Therefore, we decided to conduct the same experiment again with strangers. We went to the conservatory and asked
What is the meaning of having a HEALTHY BODY in relation to POWER in SPACE ?
