Social Distance as a Participatory Dimension in Transitioning Urban Space

Notes on “Social Distance” as a Participatory Dimension in Transitioning Urban Space

ı./ Alternative description:

“Social Distance” is a phenomenon of experiencing limited interaction due to thehappenings occurring with the dissolving of togetherness in a physical context.

ıı./ Unfolding:

• relating to society or its organization, interaction with surroundings, a stage of beingincluded in a group of people, the number of spaces between two places or things...
• interspace-gap-separation, an in-between situation, “distance” as a dimension..
  

ııı./ Thoughts:

• communicating through “social distance” while exploring adaptive approaches for spatial distance
• re-imagining the transformation of how a socially figure place itself in an urban space while its perception shifts and transitions
• highlighting the cooperation between “body” and the senses by distancing
• generating new proprioceptive essentials for urban physicality and interaction
• being transformed by “space” while signaling “body” movements
• exploration of movements through spatial experiences altering the interactions of “self”
• generating interconnectivity and belonging by exploring new adaptations of a socio-

  spatial urban context

• establishing social dialogues through alternative groundings between “body” and the

  body of the place

• transcending “self” with the guidelines of alternative encounters and the influence of

  distance

• bringing the senses more into action while moderating forms of bodily expressions
