This paper outlines the collaborative pedagogy for Sound, Body, and Space, a co-taught seminar between faculty in architecture and music. The course, open to all College of Arts and Architecture students, explores how experience-oriented design and performance are enlivened, materialized, and situated in the world through the body. This paper provides an overview of the background, approaches, and outcomes generated from kinesthetic educational systems, auditory study techniques, and interaction with the built world to advance experience-oriented design and artistic performance. The students draw upon the power of observation and the creative use of imagination to explore how diverse bodies perceive sound in various spaces. Such exploration considers experience not as an individual scenario, but rather as a spectrum. This approach seeks to mobilize categories of identity by facilitating ways to understand human experience beyond the individual and considers the experiences of people with various abilities and backgrounds. The results include alternative forms of knowledge studied and produced through participatory engagement, building upon the potential for art and design to create meaningful experiences for multiple and diverse audiences.
