Abstract:
|
Architecture, being an all-encompassing
manifestation of the senses, has been almost
limited to one: visual perception. Architects
are designing visual experiences, rather than
all embracing ones that incorporate any other
senses. Ergo designs have become hollow
structures that appeal only to the user by their
aesthetics or lack of such. To counteract the
shallowness trend, it is essential to focus on
the phenomenology of a space as well as on
its appearance.
Through experimentation, research, and
interviews I seek to stimulate and hyphenate
other senses into the design process in order
to create a more physiological, emotional
and physical experience rather than a purely
visual one. It is critical to re-prioritize other
senses, creating a new statement focusing on
the phenomena of a space rather than only
its aesthetics and visual components. This
process creates not only a building but also
projects a new philosophy: that of an invisible
architecture.
