Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka wrote on the Human Emotion Spectrum- or what has been coined as "Kafkaesque. 

"Is it possible that society influences how we feel/perceive spaces? Could feeling powerless, bullied, mocked, by and from society, influence our perception? When our destiny feels out of our control, do we make a connection to space? In Kafka's Metamorphosis, some speculate that maybe he was never transformed into an actual bug and that he metaphorically was a bug. In this case, what makes a human feel as though he should crawl under a chair? Or as though he should crawl up a wall. Could his insignificance have dwarfed his perception? How would the individual in contemporary society feel/perceive spaces? If this project is the study the relationship between the chair and the city, then how could perception's relation to scale affect our designs?

1883-1924
