SAN DIEGO, March 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NewSchool of
Architecture & Design (NewSchool) is pleased to announce that
faculty member Tatiana A. Berger will travel to Moscow as a guest lecturer at Moscow
Architecture School (MARCH) on March 28,
2017.
Berger's lecture, "The Poetics of Time: Emotion and Empathy in
Architecture," will address the cross section of neuroscience and
architecture, discussing the roles of emotion and empathy in the
experiences of architecture and in the design process, a subject
Berger teaches at NewSchool. In addition to the lecture, Berger
will lead a design workshop for students in Moscow.
"Considerations of emotional, multi-sensory experience and
phenomenology have gained importance across a range of disciplinary
areas over the past decades in architecture and design fields and I
am honored to have this opportunity to speak at MARCH, a
progressive and innovative school in the heart of Moscow," said Berger, associate professor of
graduate architecture at NewSchool. The lecture will address
questions such as, 'What can architects learn from neuroscience?'
and 'How can the dimension of time be explored more fully in
contemporary design?'"
Berger's global career in architecture and design education
spans across countries including Portugal, China, Russia
and the Netherlands. She has
worked with two Pritzker Prize-winning architects, Richard Meier (New
York) and Alvaro Siza
(Portugal).
As an associate professor of NewSchool's Graduate Architecture
program in San Diego, she also
leads the highly successful NewSchool Lecture Series, which brings
renowned architects and designers from around the world to
San Diego each month for free
public lectures, hosted on the NewSchool campus. In addition to
teaching graduate design studio, architectural and urban theory,
thesis research, and a summer program in Spain, she leads instruction in neuroscience
and architecture, as part of the new Certificate Program in
Neuroscience and Architecture at NewSchool.
Berger has lectured internationally on architectural education
and topics in regional architecture and cultural sustainability and
is now embarking on a new project called Nexus, a bi-monthly
colloquium aimed at bringing together international experts for
research and debate in neuroscience and architecture. She is a
native of St.Petersburg, Russia
and moved to the United States
with her family at an early age.
