update abstract finally done!!
“Meditation through Architecture” suggests
architecture responds to Louis Kahn’s expression of silence and light and
applies the idea to the meditation space in the urban setting; a place to
enhance the activity and perceive fragile state of mind of the meditators. The thesis is focusing on the relationship
and transition of space between two extreme environments the close up person
private space and chaotic exterior of urban setting.
The thesis is
supported by studying Kahn’s concept of “Silence and light”. Kahn’s interpretation of silence is the
desire to create, and Light is the natural force that is expressed by shadow of
the structure, material, and rhythm of the voids. Silence is also served as an essential
quality of the space in which meditation is required. The transition of the threshold that provides
a passage from the urban setting through space that is treated with Kahn’s
expression of Silence and Light to an intimate and personal space for
meditation. Here silence itself is the only thing required to help prepare the
journey to the state of meditation.
The purpose is to
create a place where people can have a quiet place to go and meditate and
reflect on themselves, due to the stresses of daily life in the city. Meditation is one of the simplest ways to
help reduce that stress. The
architecture can also serve as a place where people can visit and walk through
the space and recover their calm state of mind without having to perform the
meditation activity.
The concept of this collage is about the flow out of the boundary. I created the flow itself with the computer and ended with the sharp ages. Then the flow keep continue out of the boundary itself and become other materials. I felt that I didn't take as much risk in this collage as much as I wanted to. But this is my first time using laser cut to do any of my project. I thought I would ruin the laser cut work with salt and coffee. But turn out salt and coffee alone would have been great.
