Reading Blog for phd workshop - fleeting space Gyungju Chyon

I was very taken by the readings for the workshop. Many of the quotes from archtitects; Palassmaa & Zumthor, and philosophers; Grifero & Bohme made a lot of sense to me. In my own love of architecture and as a painter my feelings concur about the perception of a space being before a knowing of what that really is. Atmosphere is what makes it possible to actually take something in. The space needs to have a potential for our imagination - our imagining to be in the space, that it has space for us, and that the space is already finding a place inside us before we are cogintively aware of it. The readings have given me further direction in my phd journey towards the unconscious and felt sense which underlies my studio practice and gives me a route to knowledge I have. I was not as interested in the projects around quasi thingness. I think I am looking for more storytelling in what is for the most part sensory/physically animated work. I believe my reaction might be different if I were to experience the produced pieces.
