Active project · RESCIE Project · Reading Space in Practice
Reading space through knowledge, perception and movement.
Nomad Code is an active project at the intersection of cultural tourism, Reading Space and the study of territory. It translates research ideas into real experiences of travel, observation, spatial interpretation and engagement with the culture of place.
What is Nomad Code?
Cultural and natural environments, the history of place and ways of experiencing it meaningfully.
How the project began
Nomad Code emerged as a practical space for applying Reading Space: a research question about the perception and meaning of place becomes an experience of engaging with a territory.
Connection with Reading Space
Research into space becomes an experience of reading and understanding it.
What does it mean to read space?
To read space is to notice the features of a place, relate its layers and connections, and interpret what is seen through knowledge, perception and movement. It is an approach that distinguishes documented information from meaning-based interpretation.
Layers of space
- Culture
- History
- Geography
- Architecture
- Natural environment
- Symbolism
- Movement
- Human perception
Historical and cultural knowledge, and features of the natural environment and architecture, are considered alongside how people perceive a place and move through it.
The method in practice
Observation
Notice the features of a place: its landscape, built environment, traces of history and everyday life.
Connections
Relate its historical, architectural, geographical, natural and cultural layers.
Understanding
Develop an interpretation of the place while distinguishing documented information from meaning-based interpretation.
Structure
Organize observations and connections into a spatial narrative, route or educational scenario.
Result
Turn research into a cultural, tourism or educational experience.
Formats and examples
The project concept includes routes, spatial narratives and educational scenarios. The specific format is determined by the context and participants.
Descriptions of individual routes, available offerings and participation terms have not yet been published. Contact the team for current opportunities.
How to participate
Nomad Code offers opportunities to participate in cultural routes, place-based research, interpretation content development and testing educational formats related to Reading Space.
Who it is for
For people interested in engaging meaningfully with cultural and natural environments, and organizations considering a cultural or educational project.
The outcome
A practical form of applying Reading Space: cultural, tourism and educational experiences of engaging with space.
Interpreting space
Symbolic and sacred geometry are considered as one level of interpreting space alongside historical, architectural, natural and cultural layers. Metaphysical interpretations are not presented as established scientific facts.
