Narrative Spaces
Can (synchronic) architecture like (diachronic) literature, propose affective moments in which the viewer is suddenly freed from moments of time?
--
synchronic adjective:
1. concerned with something, especially a language, as it exists at one point in time.
diachronic adjective:
1. concerned with the way in which something, especailly language, has developed and evolved through time
From Plaid Grid to Diachronic Space Louis Kahn, Adler & DeVore Houses, (Ten Canonical Buildings

“Has one left a space or entered it? How space is experienced in an interval of time is part of how the time of the object is usually revealed [perceived] to the subject” -Ten Canonical Buildings (Eisenman)
