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…

relating the underground buildings with technology, underground space could be designed into an interesting space to be appreciated. (People’s perception on underground space – relating to the real world, imaginative world is mentioned.) Underground space in the imaginative world will be discussed, for instance, the film makers’ perspective on underground space and how their film was projected to the audience about underworld. The quality space discussed will show the dynamic balance created…

Space. More than just stars and stuff. Space is awesome. Both in scale and my opinion. Humans have dreamed of space travel, used stars for navigation and just generally drooled over the sky for thousands of years. There is a void surrounding us that is so large we call it “space”. But it’s not an empty, cavernous expanse, it’s filled with a multitude of stuff: from stars to planets, comets to black holes, there’s even a Super Sized Space Puddle.[1] Yet, some people aren’t interested in what is…

Time and Space in Novel and Cinema In his 1957 academic work, Novels into Film, George Bluestone breaks down differences between literature and cinema. He goes on to analyze the process of adaptation and the ways in which time and space are used differently in the two mediums. Film and literature essentially share many characteristics, such as plot development and characters. But, unavoidable changes will happen through the process of adaptation. Bluestone argues that cinema relies on the…

The modern age presents multiple channels for public action, dialogue and discussion. Furthermore, social and political thought argues that these spaces multiply the opportunities for dialect and action and encourage the process of individual thought and reflection. Spaces of action become spaces of remembrance, which hold vast opportunity to contribute to the project of mending frailty in human affairs. Yet the process of memorialisation is difficult, for the formation of memory can only occur…

The repetition of space organizes the spaces throughout. Looking to Figure 5, the spaces have a repetition pattern of ABAB, enclosed to expose. The relationship of repetitive to unique spaces reinforces the geometry, symmetry and balance of the building. Figure 1 shows how the axial line acts as a datum, it organizes the spaces and vertical planes. There is transformation in elevation, looking to Figure 6 the rectangular…

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…

The composition of David Wojnarowicz’s “When I Put My Hands on Your Body” fuses together a visual element with a literary element that must be considered together to fully interpret the piece. The background is a black and white reproduction of skeletons laid out on their rocky graves, yet Wojnarowicz has deliberately opted to obscure the image behind a wall of text. The foreground is composed of a blood-red text that encapsulates the narrative of “When I Put My Hands on Your Body.” The color of…

In a generic space, the individual has the chance to be hypothetically invisible and indistinguishable from the collection of other invisible individuals that also occupy non-places (Matienzo, 2004). Augé explains how individuals can be anonymous in such a familiar place…

Marissa Alicea Modern Worlds Midterm Paper ARCH 4140 Prof. Kalipoliti Fall 2015 In The Belly of an Architect, Stourley Kracklite’s obsession with Boullee’s architecture blinds him from the things that are essential to his success as an architect and his happiness.
