He was pleased with my proposal but suggested i clarify it.
I think his main concern is how i plan to tackle such a big and old topic like beauty. I think i may be confusing myself. What i want to do is examine what makes people enjoy buildings- i used the word beauty because of it's vagueness and bigness.
He was displeased with weixins and very happy with Joes.
I'm really worried about my actual design project. it feels like everyone [including the thesis i read] had a very clear idea of what they wish to build then researched into how to build it successfully. I'm taking a route which is technically ideal [from how i understood Goldie]- it's not knowing what the outcome will be and suprising yourself through your research. But that's just risky.
He did say that site picking will be a very crucial part of the investigation...
The design and location of my thesis will be developed through understanding and revealing the topic.
From the first day I was introduced to Architecture I have denied the idea of aesthetics & the need for beautiful architecture, after seeing function and basic sustainability methods being sacrificed for aesthetics I began to lose hope in Architectural buildings. This thesis will challenge my long-term stubborn belief and access how the human brain identifies what 'beauty' is in architecture and how does a ‘beautiful’ architecture form impact our emotions and life.
This thesis will
- investigate the individual ideas of 'beauty' as understood by numerous famous architects throughout time.
-explore the various intellectual and different cultural movements that inform how people create and look at architecture
-Attempt to understand neurology and psychology- determine how we, as humans, really identify the complex and personal concept of beauty.
Architecture is a multisensory art and requires to be understood on more than just visual terms, it must not only take into account of the other senses but also the effects of being human. Through an understanding of the neurology and psychology, I will attempt to use and manipulate the essence of being human, i.e. emotions, memory, compassion, personality & spirituality within architecture to create a personified, multisensory architectural form with the capacity to affect and reflect the deepest reaches of my existence.
Critical Question of your thesis Aesthetically successful architecture often follows certain rules of beauty which have been taught to us over time, but can architecture be challenged to evolve our emotional connections with our surroundings if we understood the neural basis that triggers feelings of appreciation, joy and happiness, i.e. ‘beautiful’ architectural spaces?
Major architectural and architectonic ideas you will be investigating
- The impact of beautiful architecture on human (The importance of beautiful aesthetics )
- How architecture speaks to us
- The culture cause of our understanding and perception of ‘beauty’
- The scientific cause of our understanding and perception of ‘beauty’
- Individuality in the perception of architecture
- How understanding psychology and neurology we are able to design ‘beautiful’ architecture and spaces for the unique individual
- The definition of beauty
