A Communication Center of Exile

Abstract

The basic goal of this project is to communicate feelings of a person in exile with architectural language. Some of these feelings are: hope, fear, worry, displacement, disorientation. The project emerges as a series of interrelated events, marked and measured by intersections, both physical and/or visual with previously visited parts of the building. Through relationships of tectonics of place within the moments of light and shadow, the project seeks to describe the sense of longing and yearning for home place. It tries to address issues of dislocation, place, memory and forgetting ones self and then remembering it again. The architecture maps the body as it moves through the building . The users of this building acknowledge the sense of displacement from the site and through the experience of the building.
