2023 ACSA/EAAE Teachers Conference, Educating the Cosmopolitan Architect

Driven by Emotion: Engagement through immersive game-based pedagogy

Teachers Proceedings

Author(s): Edward Becker & Faraz Khojasteh Far

Emotions are a common human language and as such are a powerful tool for a cosmopolitan, inclusive, and socially-conscious architect. If a pedagogy to support the development of a cosmopolitan architect is rooted in public engagement through lived experience, then an emotion-driven approach may be particularly useful as it can create a common communication platform across disciplines, backgrounds, and values. Additionally, an emotion is engendered by a personal investment in lived experience, thus creating a common connection amongst individuals relative to a collective imagination.
