Abstract
This study examines a Salvos teaching development project that dealt with architectural and environmental education, focussing specifically on the multidisciplinary art practice of children and young people. The examination themes are the new target areas of the Finnish core curriculum for fine arts in basic education in the arts. These include visual literacy, a relationship with the arts, inclusion, and influencing. The main goal of Salvos was to strengthen students’ knowledge and awareness of architectural and environmental education, to increase pedagogic and interactive cooperation, and to promote collaborative learning. Salvos ultimately enhanced environmental awareness in addition to increasing the public’s knowledge of history, the present-day situation of architecture, and the prospect of a sustainable future. In this study on the Salvos project, empirical research material conveys a series of experiential events that emerged during teaching and art-making. Architecture and environmental art as the arts of space and matter are approached from the perspective of experience research. Studying architectural and environmental teaching and art-making from the point of view of experientiality here means the operational aspect, in which embodiment, physicality, materiality, and space are emphasized. The art-based research methodology is employed to study this experiential research material.
During the Salvos project, Jaana Räsänen worked as an expert in architectural education at Archinfo Finland.
