Space – Sensation – Design. Impressions of a weekend seminar on spatial experience

In architecture, there is a mysterious overlapping of space, sensations and consciousness. Spaces can create moods in us through their design and atmosphere and steer our consciousness in a certain direction. This is a mysterious phenomenon, because the spatial is actually something invisible. How is this possible and what triggers such sensations? Most of the time it happens largely unconsciously, but is it possible to make such sensations conscious and how do you do that?

Menschheitsprojekt Beton

Es wäre falsch, vom Beton gering zu denken! Groß sind nicht etwa nur die heute verbauten Mengen dieser Substanz. Groß ist auch die Idee, die ihnen zugrunde liegt. Mit der Betonherstellung hat der Mensch begonnen, die geologischen Prozesse in die eigene Hand zu nehmen.6 Dabei erzeugt er, über die Rekapitulation von Feuer- und Flüssigkeits-Vorstufen der Erde, einen beliebig formbaren Stein seines eigenen Willens
