| Abstract |
Recent discourse on architectural perception tends to deal with sensuous experience rather than rational to develop the idea how bodily interaction intervenes between architectural space and human being. Even though such conceptual shift has led to phenomenological concern and discourse of body in the realm of architectural theory, the problem is that, while the thoughts and cognition on the basis of the 'body', the main arguments in most studies have been focused on phenomenological perceptual experiences, especially on sense and perception through the body. Why is it the problem?Though spatial characteristic in relation to bodily perception is to disclose the visual differences, such narrow point of view tends to generalize such spatial characteristic to either sensual space or technical phenomenology while disregarding the investigation on the trait of visual perception through bodily interaction. The goal of the study is to establish a methodological frame for design through distinguished notion of phenomenology. The study attempts to investigate meaning and characteristics of the 'bodily visuality', character of visual perception through a body, on the basis of Merleau-ponty's theory of bodily perception, and to infer the meaning of bodily visuality more clearly through comparative analysis on Steven Holl whose approach is rather epistemological and Daniel Libeskind who approaches with ontology of bodily perception. |
