Symposium series: The Body, the Mind and the City
Between the 7th of June and the 5th of July, 2017, POST-OFFICE, Delftsestraat 9, Rotterdam
Healing Places has the pleasure to invite you to The Body, the Mind and the City, a series of 5 symposiums that will take place between June and July 2017 at Post-Office. Together with spatial designers, scientists, tech developers, artists and designers, we will explore the relationship between the human body and physical space. These transdisciplinary discussions will also investigate how space design and technology can affect our physiological and psychological condition, change our sensory perception and behaviors.
