Awareness, Intelligence, & Consciousness in Architecture
What is architecture | Where and when does it happen | How does it work | Why is it important
The goal of this workshop is to improve the capabilities of learning & understanding architecture through mindful practices & scientific training.
INTRODUCTION
Architecture is the conscious manifestation of human awareness through shaped forms in space. It is our cohabitation with nature through form creation. Beyond buildings, how we perceive, understand, and express our relationship with forms & materials to create functional & aesthetic places for our biological comfort, needs & desires to manifest.
This workshop opens a gateway to architectural understanding through perceptual, cognitive, and emotional intelligence. It is an initiation into how consciousness gives form in space, creating a relationship with nature. Through this workshop, we explore the roots of architecture in spatial, visual, biological, and kinaesthetic intelligence, developing the inner mechanics that give rise to conscious creation.
You will not only study architecture—you will learn how to experience it. You will sharpen your senses, refine your thoughts, and tune into the emotional resonance of built environments. You’ll learn how architecture emerges as design from presence, awareness, and human consciousness.
BENEFITS
Whether you’re exploring architecture for the first time, preparing for academic study, or expanding your creative horizon, this workshop offers:
- A foundational understanding of how architecture manifests through human awareness.
- Enhanced ability to perceive, memorize, and interpret spaces consciously.
- Tools to develop your mind mechanics—how you organize thought, feeling, and imagination.
- A deeper grasp of the architect’s role in shaping human experience through form.
- The capacity to observe a space, abstract a concept, and express it with clarity.
- Insights into whether a long-term path in architecture aligns with your inner calling.
At the end of the workshop, you will be aware of how to explore, reflect, and contemplate architectural design. You will become aware of how to improve your learning & understanding capabilities through meditative practices and scientific training, by yourself.
STRATEGY
Workshop duration – Five weeks | Six sessions
Workshop structure :
- Group of Six People
- Weekly session of three hours
- 10h/ week individual study & practice
- One Individual Session (90 minutes) per month
Session’s structure is variable and consists of :
- Theoretical lesson
- Reflective dialogue
- Theme practice
- Case study
- Personal example
- Personalized studies & training
The workshop comprises weekly online group sessions and personalized daily practices. Groups are a space for meaningful interaction, shared inquiry, and personal development. Sessions integrate theory with experiential learning, where perceptions, thoughts, and emotions converge in the development of auditory intelligence.
The learning experience for each session is designed based on the collective will of the participants. This process will be democratic, and every personal idea, need, or desire will be explored & integrated throughout the workshop.
SCHEDULE
Week 1
How to Perceive Architecturally – Discover how perception builds space in the mind. Develop observational depth through visual and tactile awareness. Learn to map form, light, proportion, and material through the senses.
- Perception, Observation & Architecture Information
- Spatial & visual exploration
- Inquiry, research, study
Week 2
How to Think Architecturally – Train your cognitive processes: imagination, abstraction, mental modeling, and conceptual creativity. Learn how to create internal structures for external expression.
- Cognition, Imagination & Architecture Knowledge
- Mental Projection, Interpretation, Reflection
- Spatial, Visual, Kinaesthetic cognition
Week 3
How to Feel Architecturally – Explore your emotional response to architecture. Understand how memory, history, and symbolism shape your intuitive understanding of space.
- Emotions, Insights & Architecture Understanding
- History, Memory & Contemplation of Architecture
- Intention, Insight, Understanding, Intuition
Week 4
How to Manifest Architecturally – Turn internal awareness into creative form. Practice drawing, sketching, and model-making while developing your voice and expressive capacity.
- Architectural Design & Engineering
- Concept, Variations, Drawing, Building
- Sketch, Drawing, Geometry, Modeling,
Week 5
Architectural Creation – Design of an architectural project.
Week 6
Presentation, Reflections, and Potentiality – Q&A
THEMES
Improving the intelligence of certain aspects of your awareness, at physiological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, will result in better learning & understanding capabilities regarding architecture. These intelligences are interconnected, and when refined, they enable the architect to create a design with intention, insight, and purpose.
Spatial intelligence – Gives form to thought, helping us feel and construct dimensionality.
Visual intelligence – Lets us recreate the world in an image, guiding memory, observation, and projection.
Emotional intelligence – Connects space with emotion, memory, and empathy, shaping our felt experience.
Linguistic Intelligence – Express designs through precise, poetic, or structured language.
Kinesthetic intelligence – Translates movement and distance into embodied understanding of proportion and rhythm.
REGISTRATION
Before you make the payment, you can register for our WorkWhop (FREE INITIATION WORKSHOP), which includes :
- Two group sessions of three hours each – one week apart.
- Introductory session, in which I present the general aspect of my teachings and give you a personalized practice and contemplation program for a week.
- Decisional session, in which we reflect the last week’s learning experiences and choose the best workshop for you.
“The art & science of designing & constructing buildings”. – The spatial manifestation of humans, through form, shape, and light.
Architecture is learned through the memory of the body, mind, and soul. This workshop invites you to discover architecture as a living process rooted in consciousness, perception, cognition, and emotion.
This is a workshop designed around the mind mechanics for architecture through which learning and understanding knowledge related to it become natural. It is a place to refine your awareness, sharpen your senses, and improve your intelligence.
Your mindful journey into the art & science of architectural design can evolve here…
