Methodology

Questioning:

How is architectural experience become awareness? By gathering fragmentations of complexities and systems within movement through a space, and using the mind and body as the translator of static imagery and other senses to translate this series of information into perception and experience. Since still imagery is limited by its boundary, in this case our senses, complete experience of architecture can never be realized.

Experimenting:

Photography is parallel to visual experience of architecture, a vantage point limited by its frame and exists only for its boundaries. Map the paths of how people move, view and experience within a space. Map out relationships defined by the occupant within that space to the architecture and explore how the architecture can become the lens to which the occupant experience.

Analyzing:

Manipulations in experimental photography can be used to scope out and reconstruct the experience of awareness as the vantage point, in both first and third person view. Distill images created to explore the relationships reversed, deriving drawings and preliminary physical modeling of these new relationships and structure between the observer and the observed. Asking what is beyond the boundaries? What are suitable sites and programs for such an intervention?
