Abstract

The Visual short presentation will focuse on the research probe " The Memory of Place". In this probe ve investigated the students' statements and how they experience their relationship to a particular place..

The subject of this exploration is mutual overlaps of architecture, works of art and art education, and their common language across these fields. The character of our research was inspired by phenomenological approaches.

We chose methodologies related to art and design creation - A/r/t/ography. We arrived at a conclusion that phenomenology of architecture investigated in connection with the semiotic concept of art education brings a lot of inspiration and is relevant topic both for the teaching artist and the students.

The Project "Phenomenon of Architecture and Its Pedagogical Implications" is part of ongoing outcomes of doctoral studies at the Dpt. of Arts, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic. Its objective is to investigate this phenomenon through artistic creation mediated to students and to explore the possibilities of using the findings about the creative processes in educational situations with university students.

The Project is based on the current public discussions about how architecture influences our apprehension of public space, and the quality of life connected with it.
