Frank Lloyd Wright designed the oculus as a monumental glass crown that floods the central atrium with daylight. The radial steel framing mimics a delicate web yet anchors the entire spatial experience. It draws the eye upward and creates a sense of openness, rhythm, and orientation. Light becomes part of the architecture, revealing the spiraling galleries in complete continuity from base to skylight.

Intersections of Science, History, and Philosophy in Architectural Discourse

In the realm of architecture, the confluence of scientific principles, historical contexts, and philosophical inquiries offers a rich tapestry for critical analysis. The data provided presents a compelling exploration of these intersections, inviting us to delve deeper into the multifaceted nature of architectural discourse.

At the heart of the discussion lies the concept of the magic angle, a precisely defined angle with profound implications in scientific fields such as solid-state NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. From an architectural standpoint, the magic angle prompts reflection on the nuanced relationship between form and function. Just as scientific interactions depend on precise alignments, architectural elements must harmonize to create spatial experiences that transcend the ordinary.

Parallel to this scientific inquiry is the exploration of the Primitive Hut, a foundational concept in architectural theory that posits architecture's origins in the fundamental relationship between humans and their natural environment. This notion challenges architects to create spaces that seamlessly integrate with their surroundings, embodying what is natural and intrinsic. The Primitive Hut serves as a reminder of architecture's roots and the enduring relevance of contextual sensitivity and sustainability in design practice.

The discourse also delves into architectural responses to historical events, particularly wars. From restorationist approaches seeking to recreate pre-war conditions to innovative styles reflecting the need for progress, architects have grappled with reconciling the past with the imperatives of the present. This dynamic evolution reflects architecture's resilience and adaptability as a discipline shaped by socio-historical forces.

Central to the discussion is the work of Bruno Minardi, whose reinterpretation of the Primitive Hut in pieces like "Le bateau ivre" exemplifies architecture's transformative power. By situating the primitive hut concept within contemporary contexts, Minardi challenges traditional narratives and invites reflection on architecture's role in shaping perceptions and narratives. The incorporation of the magic angle into architectural form further blurs the boundaries between science and architecture, opening new avenues for exploration and expression.

Moreover, the mention of axonometric drawing and its inherent blind spot leading to the fourth dimension adds a layer of complexity to architectural representation. Architects confront the challenge of translating multidimensional concepts into two-dimensional drawings, highlighting the need for innovative visualization techniques.

In conclusion, the data underscores architecture's multifaceted nature, encompassing scientific inquiry, historical context, and philosophical discourse. By engaging with these intersecting realms, architects have the opportunity to transcend the ordinary and contribute to the collective human experience through the built environment. As critical observers, we must continue to explore these intersections and interrogate the implications for architecture and society at large.

Entry 6: Design Development

Developing the design of our Smart City concept was a creatively stimulating process however it was difficult to pin down an idea at the onset of this project. It become clear that designing for the Smart City was never going to be just one idea. Within my group, we have seen a fusion of ideas drawn from many things such as our personal stories, the experiments and observations we conducted as a group, our own interactions within the city our individual and collective understanding of design concepts and methodologies and the exercises we did to expand our ideation sessions. A range of themes emerged such as human, gaming, immersion, guide, VR and AI, etc. Various techniques also emerged such as visual research methods, concept sketching, social experiments and brainstorming. Through this process, ‘visualisation’ had the biggest impact on my creativity. This was not limited to physical visual aids but also visualisation of the project in my mind through ‘imaginative design’ concepts.

However coming back to visible visualisation, I found Gillian Rose’s description of the ‘Future Life’ animations visual content similar to how I have viewed my own creative process from different angles and mediums such as photography, sketching and video to interpret my imagination of the Smart City. While digital art is not my forte I found inspiration fro other works to help me further develop this interpretation through emerging technology such as holograms, artificial intelligence and through spatial experience design (see media below). These concepts were echoed by the rest of the group who also saw exciting technological advances as the key to binding our creative ideas. These ideas helped to expand on the gaming concept of the avatars into something more suitable in a City wide space where other elements of City life could also be considered such as micro-communities of varying interest such as sustainability or cleaning initiatives.

SPATIAL EXPERIENCE

A fundamental aspect of the book is Bacons explanation of spatial experience. He defines architecture as an articulation of space so as to produce in the participator a definite space experience in relation to previous and anticipated space experiences,  capturing how buildings define and make a space comprehensible and articulate a notion of time, via the lived experience of moving from one space to the next.

Bacon believes that involvement is key to spatial experience. Architecture is to be in not just to look at, and there are eight key urban design elements that help to achieve this:

Meeting the sky , building elements to create skylines and identity. Meeting the ground , to give a quality of stability and definition. Points in space , which interplay to create tension and dynamic spatial harmony. Recession planes , framing and creating drama, scale and position for the viewer. Design in depth, creating perspective and a sense of movement within space. Ascent and descent , levels producing anticipation and pleasure. Convexity and concavity, the interplay of positive and negative forms to shape volume. Relationship to people , human-scale design to connect and involve.

Architecture shapes daily life. Haptic design creates experiences that move the soul and navigate the seasons of living, offering moments of self-awareness amidst contrasting environments. Can sensorial architecture redefine our spatial experiences? Yes.

Consider tectonics! Materiality plays a crucial role in manipulating acoustics, scent, tactile sensations, and visual elements in a project. Here's a fun question: Can you taste the architecture? Let's examine a working project to refine our understanding of impacting sensorial aspects through tectonics: Restart where four identically shaped rooms offer diverse experiences. Hemp fibers in a wood frame regulate the internal climate by interacting with moisture, efficiently balancing temperature through the physical process of heat absorption to turn water droplets into moisture. By releasing energy/ heat vapour can become droplets once more. This heat can be used to warm up the internal space or cool it down. Additionally, scent binds to moisture and can thus be controlled by varying wall thicknesses- and thus the thickness of the hempfibers. Since a finish has to be vapour open with this system, Lime plasters are strategically employed to additionally capture light in a specific way and influence luminosity. Lastly in this project the roof slopes are calculated to control acoustics and guide movement throughout the space.

In conclusion, despite identical forms, these linked spaces offer varied experiences based on usage, time of day, and seasonal changes. A space can be warm enough to take a shower in winter but cool enough in the midst of summer to not even shed a drop of sweat. They accommodate diverse activities and engage users in shared experiences such as smelling if someone had a shower or when dinner is almost ready (and whats for dinner). Whether this is a wanted attribute is of personal taste ofcourse.

This approach also fosters inclusivity, benefiting those with sensory impairments. By manipulating texture, smells and sound, individuals can navigate spaces more effectively. After all a project's success is measured by the experiences of ALL users. More on universal design coming up.

To end with a question for you: How can sensorial architecture further revolutionize the way we experience and interact with our built environment? Comment below!

The Futuristic Trilateral Bridges project is a shining example of how AI can revolutionize urban planning. By creating dynamic structures that serve multiple purposes, we can make our cities more vibrant and improve the quality of life for their inhabitants. AI allows us to reimagine our cities and create structures that are not only functional but also enhance the city's aesthetic appeal. How can we use AI to create more dynamic and vibrant cities?
