Confined space

up with the image promoted by Tulane admissions. In class we discussed Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the social production of space and I originally interpreted the concepts of social practice and representational space was extremely static. Initially I thought of institutions/people in power creating both the representations of space and the representational space as the space was created and civilians only really having an influence in the social practice however, while interviewing people, I…

We are constructors of our own knowledge as well as knowing what we know and what we do not know about the universe. Knowledge can be viewed and defined in many depending on the person, culture, religion, and lifestyle. Whether people like Sagan or Hawking may dispute their point of views of the universe, they also pertain to have similarities about it as well. Our own beliefs of what knowledge represents to society as well as individually to us can often be subject to outside influence. The…

grow into be six retreats offered to church planters next year. Abide is spaced created for church planters to reconnect their hearts with the heart of God through meditation on scripture and prayer. I provided them with a prayer prompt and the space necessary for them to listen to what God may desire to speak to them. Afterwards, we come together to allow them to listen to one another share what their experience was like and what they…

Preface: Historical preservation has been mostly understood by the means of preserving the physical artifact. However, in an urban context, what makes artifacts’ character “distinctive” and “definitive” is not only their physicality but also their memory. To this end, Also Rossi’s argues for “the soul of the city” as the city’s history, its memory. Although we all travel backward in time through memory, history and memory should be distinguished totally from each other, the former belongs to a…

Let it first be assumed that the existence of the universe, as a complete entity, is absolute and static, for no permanent description can be made about its nature if said nature were dynamic, and even so its dynamic nature in itself would be a constant, making any other assumption im-possible in the first place. The notion that the state of the universe is variable depending on the perceiving it must also be rejected for the purposes of this paper, as, similarly to the aforemen-tioned…

exterior • How this transition of two spaces is achieved by the human senses? (Visual marking of spaces – inside/outside) • How the building does merges with the surrounding environment? What textures are created from this? (Example: Todaiji Temple – exterior penetrating into the interior, Horiuchi House – Life pass through the outside and vice versa) CHAPTER 3 : Embracing aesthetics of the space • How materiality can transform positively or negatively a space? • How building materials blend…

angry because she believes that space is actually what matters for geography; however, philosophers and social scientists made the space into a residual dimension. The over-focusing of time instead of space is the factor that Massey is angry about; she believes that space has dynamic and three-dimensional. Space changes the way of human beings’ lives. People cannot just simply consider space and flat and describe it without its context. 2. Massey says that space is “the dimension of things…

just empty space. This tells us infinity exists. We can understand infinity exists without understanding infinity. Outer space is the easiest place to see infinity, but it is actually the nature of everything in one way or another. The amazing thing is, it has to be true. It is a certain truth, and it is impossible to comprehend. That is mind blowing, but it's one of those things that brings magic to knowing the truth and life. It is a perfect example of knowing the unknowable. Inner space:…

Literature defines life space as people’s movement throughout their living environment.1 One article done by Lo and Colleagues (2014) investigated the relationship between life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment, LSA) and incidence of fall and fracture within 4 years follow-up period among community-dwelling older adults in Alabama, U.S.2 Life-space change was defined as the difference in LSA score before and after a fall occurs. The research findings indicate that decrease in life-space…

The idea of a “safe place” first took off along with the feminist movement of the 1960s, providing a place for like minded individuals to gather; however, the 21st century saw a resurfacing of the same idea, applied this time as an ideological safe haven sheltering university students from exposure to sensitive topics. Articles published regarding this new notion of a “safe place” cites violations against the fundamental principle of universities in preparing its students to enter the adult…
