INTEGRATIVE SEMINAR 4 – 27/01/2020 – DEVANSHI MA’AM

Taking an inspiration from Italo Calvino, we now have to write 6 of our dream cities, which can be a sequence of a same city, just like Calvino did, or they might be different cities.

We could use the following aspects to describe our city :-

  • Sensory Perception – use the senses
    • Hearing
    • Taste
    • Smell
    • Vision
    • Touch
  • Memory
    • of places
    • of childhood
    • of incidents
  • Intuition
    • Feeling
    • Planning
    • Objects relation
  • Imagination
    • Fantasy
    • Longing
  • Belief
    • Faith
    • Superstitions
  • Emotion
    • Attachment to routine
    • Incidents
    • likes/dislikes
  • Reason
    • Purpose of why it was built
  • Language
    • Communication

We could also use the following elements:-

  • Nature
  • Reflection
  • Symbolism
  • People’s way of being
  • People’s behaviour
  • Journey
  • Architecture
  • City is not.

In the next half, we were asked to show at least one of our concepts to the faculty so that she could clear us with our doubts, and give us more better ideas.
