What is the reality and how is it designed? The designing of reality is by no means a new idea, but the tools for designing reality at our human disposal are always becoming more and more sophisticated. We will consider the concept of reality in the context of philosophy, religion, art, architecture and design and question our engagement with reality, how different media are being used to represent reality and how to work, play and consumer culture enact different ideas about the nature of reality. This course offers not only an important critical point of view for students of architecture, art and design but is furthermore intended as a source of inspiration for realities still to be designed. In this course, we will delve into the history of ideas, discovering different realities and drawing on these for inspiration and exploration.
