Hara's collected research on the role of sensing and the sensory in design

Building upon Kenya Hara's previous design treatises including Ex-formation and White, Visualize and Awaken deals with the question of how to see the world with new eyes, and presents a continuation of Hara's pedagogical research as a professor at Musashino Art University. Awareness of the world, Hara argues, emerges only after one has already entered an environment that feels self-evident. Take for example how babies feel their way through the world: they crawl on their stomachs, hit their heads on table legs and put objects into their mouths. In other words, to become aware is to situate oneself within a network of cause and effect, where a sense of stability forms in relation to one's surroundings: learning that one action leads to another, interpreting signs and anticipating what comes next. Hara's research quietly unravels the stable relationship between people and their environment, introducing unfamiliar modes of seeing and perception.
