| dc.description.abstract | In our perception, the built environment tends to disappear into the background through habit and routine. In this thesis, artistic explorations in manipulating our perceptual field serve as the basis to investigate for architecture to do the same. The project takes a sociological definition of space, positing the latent potential of third places to mediate between the privacy of our domestic environments and our public spheres within the context of our everyday social environment. Representational techniques, including repetition and doubling, are used to create a sensory awareness of ‘sameness’ that allows subtle differences to foreground in our perception. Sited in a fictional urban context, the project disguises itself as a normative five-story building containing spaces for domestic, professional, and social activities. The result is a limited palette of planimetric and three-dimensional representations that stage mundane scenes of habitation and routine as something unfamiliar or that which requires closer inspection. | |
