The Affective Cartographies Workshop (4–5 November, 9:00–13:00) invites students to explore the city of Iași through emotion, perception, and memory rather than plans and measurements. Guided by assist. prof. dr. arch. Tiberiu Teodor-Stanciu and assist. prof. dr. arch. Ramona Costea, the two-day experience (4–5 November) aligns with the festival’s theme, Convergence, and encourages participants to sense and map the city in a personal way.
The workshop begins with a guided walk through the city centre, combining photography, quick sketches, and written notes to capture atmosphere and affect. In the second phase, participants will create a 50×50 cm plexiglass collage, layering cut-outs, drawings, and text to form individual “affective maps.” These will merge into a collective installation presented on 6 November, offering a multi-perspective geography of emotions and memories.
Open to 12 architecture students, this workshop provides a poetic method of mapping — one that connects spatial experience with human perception. Applications are open until 20 October via the online form.
