Treatise of Body Space

Abstract

Structures that have sheltered us since the dawn of time have echoed the human anatomy. Architecture is often referred to as the human body. In accordance, we can summarize the success in architecture to be experience. In reference to experience there are two edges to place. Yet, these are orchestrated respectively as a synthesis yet they never are evenly weighted. The two cannot be viewed purely separate nor fulfillment in one guarantees satisfaction in the others. However there is a disconnect between the body, the city, and the landscape. How is it decided the appropriateness of such hierarchy? There has been tremendous success and many failures do to this hierarchy. Perhaps such failures are due to the emphasis on architecture viewed as an immaterial object and making it superficial. What makes a city feel like a city. It is the intimate connection between body, architecture, and nature. How o we mediate those connections? Or give them strength? There is a depth communicated by visual language more than just the book face. It is the aesthetic that intrigues people with the artistry and unifies it wholly as a system within by experience. With this sensual understanding the city communicates an empowerment as a space.
