in-between, and every kind of definition has an in-between space. Especially if the definitions are two opposites, then the in-between space is more rich”. Indeed, this kind of “in-between space” doesn’t only exist between nature and architecture or between inside and outside, but also, it exists as a narrative space for the Dominican-American writer Julia Alvarez. In this paper, I would like to elaborate on the term, the “in-between space”, which was brought up by Kelli Lyon Johnson in her…

the part of the United States and other various space agencies. So, they foremost require money, or they will literally not get off the ground. In the United States, the ability of NASA to explore space in a consistent and revolutionary capacity has been limited by a dwindling budget, which took up at its height less than 4.5% of the federal budget and, in the modern day, takes up about 0.5% of the federal budget (Kring). As such, the budget of the space program must be sufficiently funded in…

perplexed by outer space. We look at the sky and for the first time in our lives, we feel minuscule. In a world where humans are at the top of the hierarchy, space seems to swallow us entirely. Space exploration’s origin can be traced back to curiosity. Exploring space not only answers numerous questions we all share about the universe, it also grants us a deeper look into the world we inhabit. Try imagining a new color. Impossible, right? We have the same dilemma with imagining space. However,…

In many ways the 60s of the 20th century have given art a new face. The artistic reactions to formative events and sentiments of their time designed a portrait of an era, which revealed complex social changes, turbulent political developments and rapid technological progress. Since the end of the second World War artists conceptualized new artistic ideas like autonomy, authorship, form, originality and transformed them into their own language in order to find a new artistic technique. One of…

Monster’s Ball establishes several parallels between Hank and Leticia through narrative co-occurrence. From their abusive parenting styles to the loss of their respective children, Forster validates this implausible relationship through commonality. The cinematic techniques visually assimilate Hank and Leticia characteristically and circumstantially. Though Hank is more apathetic and cold while Leticia is more emotional and reactionary, their resulting behaviors manifest similarly. Marc Forster…

In order to understand the lives of the working class in Paris in the 19th Century, it is necessary to understand how their lives were not simply shaped by larger influences such as the economic forces of capitalism or the regulating role of the state. Instead, it is important to unveil how the city itself spatialized and constructed social and gender difference for the working class, while they, in a mutually constitutive manner shaped modes of sociability in the city. Analysis of the works by…

woman kept her eyes trained on her cell-phone, scrolling through an endless feed of videos and tweeted thoughts. The man in the business suit held his body straight at the front of the small space, eyes trained on the door, waiting impatiently. The second woman, who had situated herself at the back of the space, leaned against the wall, trying to make herself as small as possible. She kept her eyes on the ground and her arms pinned at her sides. The teen stood right in front of the buttons,…

defined as the "other" of the "two worlds", the world where the witch walks through, being compared to outer space, inner space, life force and the un-manifest. In Indian cosmology Akasha is a term for "aether" meaning "upper sky" or "space" even "infinite space". To the Hinduism and Buddhism beliefs Akasha is the base of all things in the material world which we live. Without the existence of space, nothing else could be because there has to be something that will act as a base. When I…

and "gay lesbian bars'” emerged and were considered 'safe spaces' whereby those of the same gender could dance, kiss, and engage flirtatious play without fear of retribution. Thus the term "safe space" was coined. However, like all loose change, the coined term has fallen into a new meaning. We witness now, the rise of "intellectual safe space". Intellectual safe spaces burden any free society. More than anything else intellectual safe spaces limit conversation, discussion, debate, and parry.…

subjective, so in any other realm, art and science are often in opposition, however Architecture fuses the two together to form “productive space with the tangible realities of gravity, material properties, and assembly sequences” (Schwartz 2016, 24) and tectonics establishes methods for this to be possible. Light is invited inside a structure to give it a sense of space, life, emotion, and a connection to the outside, and gives the appearance of light, floating structures. Fig.1 shows a…
