Embodying landscapes. A Kinesthetic approach to 3 Landscape Architecture Projects
Join us on a tour visiting three parks in Barcelona, discovering our motion in relation those places, and how it plays a role in shaping our perception and understanding of each, in different modes, the body staying in a place, the body’s movement within a place and the body’s movement between places.

There is a profound connection between our physical existence and the spaces we inhabit. Bodies and landscapes thus produce each other in a mutual relation in the process of motility and inhabitation.
The spatial layout of landscapes, sidewalks and streets significantly influences whether people come together in co-presence and co-awareness, ultimately shaping the vitality of urban places. In this context, our interaction with the urban environment goes beyond the visual; it's about experiencing and interacting through our sensory engagement, and as urban design represents a cooperative interplay between the dwellers within the city and the spaces they occupy, it forms the very essence of the spatial experience. Design qualities like scale, proportion, rhythm, continuity, and materials, contribute to the perceptual gestalt and place ambience of a cityscape.
The three urban spaces that we chose maintain a dialogue with the space through different situations, the proximity of the structuring elements, the integration of the physical and visual space and the dispersion of the visual elements and barriers, we want the route to be understood from these three points of sensory and perceptual connections and how it influences the behavior of the body's movement.
