I struggle with the representation of my
interests and ideas which mainly fall around the sensory, phenomenological
experiences. Architectural experience as being multidimensional &
unpredictable, how is the experience of architecture brought out in its
representation?
I have struggled with the
translation of abstracted theoretical ideas into an architectural
language.
My particular interest which begins to set off this blog for this
year is the conscious experience of architecture, being present in a moment at any place & time, capturing it
and just feeling, sensing,being.
How do we begin to represent consciousness in an architectural space?
Definitions(taken from other sources);
Consciousness- awareness of one's own
existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings
It has also been defined as: 'subjectivity,
the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood,
and the executive control system of the mind. Stated in the Companion to
Consciousness As being: "Anything that we are aware of at a given moment
forms part of our consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most
familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives."
Presence- could be described as the 'the
part of space within one's immediate vicinity', the spacious relationship to
this moment in time, the completeness of being, a 'being which is activated'.
How can we be in two places at once mind in
one, body in the other?
How do we represent architecture in a
way that allows individuals to fully experience the architecture through a
conscious mind?
The possibilitys of film
Film has the ability to take the viewer to a particular place and moment in time. It has the ability to connect the viewer with the character or the place in an emotional way without any prior knowledge of the place or person involved. It has the ability to tell a story, represent movement & atmosphere, capture moments with out stripping those moments down to pure still images or altered realistic end realities.
