Sensory City
Kenya Hara coined the term ‘Senseware’ to describe forms of matter which stir our sensory perception. Through a series of reflections on current and past projects Asif Khan will explore the meaning and possibilities offered by a sensory approach to design. Could this thinking offer us a new way of creating architecture?

Bartlett alum Asif Khan established his London-based architecture office in 2007. The studio’s interest ranges from cultural buildings and masterplans to houses, temporary pavilions, exhibitions, installations and products. The design solution in each project is highly distinct, yet unified by a meticulous understanding of place, purpose and potential.

La Monte Young 'Dream House' Installation

'Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Dream Festival ... Dia presents a newly acquired, site-specific iteration of Dream House by La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, and Jung Hee Choi at 545 West 22nd Street in New York City.

Dream House has been described as “a time installation measured by a continuous frequency environment in sound and light, in which a work would be played continuously and ultimately exist in time as a living organism with a life and tradition of its own.” 

“Dream House is a landmark contribution to the history of sound and light, a truly immersive experience, and one of the most important manifestations of Young and Zazeela’s collaborations,” said Jessica Morgan, Director, Dia Art Foundation.'
