Through the application of Gaston Bachelard’s idea of topoanalysis (‘place’-analysis), students design a wearable analog, or ‘mobile experience device’ that parallels the situated experience of being at home. Armed with this device, students explore the urban interiors of famous museums from across the globe through online virtual tours. They apply Marc Augé’s theory of ‘non-places’ to these digital spaces, developing design interventions that critique the methods by which museum’s objectify the artefacts they display. Learning to design through inquiry, students question their preconceptions of space and the interior through a detailed examination of the real and virtual spaces in which they live.
