Public space

couples of Le Mepris and Rear Window move throughout their living space the way that they do is incredibly important to understanding their relationships more broadly. Those who use these tools to enhance the exchange of looks are more apt to have a successful relationship, as this exchange is a form of communication deeply related to physical presences—which is very relevant to romantic relationships. In Le Mepris, Camille’s use of space often relates to escaping—a clear indicator of her and…

around a central courtyard space, which merges interior with exterior to create a closed off, separate space that is still open to the sky. Through…

noticed some of its similarities with dance. Dance is expressive of the body, but it is also an observation of people’s interaction with each other and with their surroundings, a study of people’s movement through space. A choreographed dance may be exaggerated movements through space, so I view architecture as built environments that…

been contradictory opinions about safe spaces. On the one hand, safe spaces are necessary as they encourage discussion, physical safety, and group solidarity. On the contrary, safe spaces limit student exposure and can cause discrimination between the majority and minority figures, which causes safe spaces to have a negative reputation directed towards them. They engage in many definitions, my definition of a ‘safe space’ is any physical and or non- physical space where groups of the students…

column free space which used to hold basketball races and indoor ceremonies instead of a vacant lot in the campus. This put a really serious problem on the table, how can architect constructing a new building above the gym without penetrating the existing structure and affecting the function of the gym above? Moneo give us a perfect solution by using diagonal cross-bracing at the perimeter. An enormous steel truss forms the facade envelope of the architecture. From the giant truss spaces around…

bows outwards to form the large lecture hall and library within. However, this does not simply mean that this section of the building fits O’Gorman’s generalizations for additive buildings. The other three arms show the divisive method where office spaces are divided. Furthermore, in ABC of Architecture, O’Gorman uses the additive plan of the Richards Medical Research Laboratories as an example of additive architecture.4 In this plan each of the rooms is placed sequentially and the outer borders…

Bridges once said, “Get back motherf*cker! You don’t know me like that!” and like Mr. Bridges, we all have our own sense of appropriate space when interacting with the people we encounter in our daily lives. Edward T. Hall, an American anthropologist, studied the phenomena of ‘personal space’ and devised a term for our interactions and reactions within this space, called ‘Proxemics’. Proxemics is defined by The Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “the study of the nature, degree, and effect of the…

Physical Space being used in Libraries Expectation, Situation Introduction Due revolution in information technology, the role of library has been changed astonishingly in past decades. Traditional libraries emphasis on providing quiet space and printed books, however, modern libraries are not only providing traditional academic reference service but also providing digital information service; not only for study but also for socialising. Scott Bennett deemed, “at the heart of any effort to…

was tended to be outside and between the rocks line up they have a gap or space. It was intended for the rocks to be separated in a certain kind of way giving them space throughout the circular format. The Stonehenge has a diameter about ninety eight meters plus the ditch around the Stonehenge is about six meters to. The Stonehenge is surrounded by a bank and ditch but their is space between them in a circular form. The space was needed between the rocks to capture the shadow the sun gives so…

time have by discussing the history of the phrase “sense of place” and the contemporary American landscape. Overall, Jackson writes about the loss of meaning of a sense of place in America today and about his interpretation of the significance of space and place by focusing on the fact that our sense of time is becoming a collective identity, even in distinct environments. He also focuses on the European versus American sense of place, as well as our deep longing to move away from the accepted…
