De-signing Educational Environments: Navigating Dis-courses

In an attempt to escape the “tree-book” trap proposed by Deleuze and Guattari in their work A Thousand Plateaus, we explore writing without allowing the book to serve as a mere decal, a carbon copy, or a representation of its subject matter. Can a book transcend being a fixed image of what has been experienced and instead become a living extension of it — a continuation of life? Just as a travel diary evolves into a kind of journey and a portfolio metamorphoses into a design piece, can a book about a university subject become an educational force in its own right? Can it intertwine with the course, maintaining a shared existence on the same vector plane? Blending memoir, travelogue, and collage, this multifaceted work weaves together a tapestry of visions through its "little writings". Drawing on various aspects of educational environments, it surpasses the role of a telescope meant merely for observation, acting instead as a kaleidoscope that unites individuals from diverse backgrounds in a shared exploration of thought within the distinct realm of university life during a unique moment in time. The book serves as an experiment — not intended to provide definitive answers, but to keep these questions alive and vibrant in the reader's mind.
