"Building, Dwelling, and Thinking"
By Martin Heidegger in 1951.
A German Philosopher, 1889-1976.
"'When we speak of man and space, it sounds as though man stood on one side, space on the other. Yet space is not something that faces man. It is neither an external object nor an inner experience. it is not that there are men, and over and above them space...' As we enter an architectural space, an immediate unconscious projection, identification and exchange takes place; we occupy the space and the space settles in us. We grasp the space through our senses and we measure it with our bodies and movements. We project our body scheme, personal memories and meanings into space; the space extends the experience of our bodies beyond our skin, and the physical space and our mental space fuse with each other."

This project is really quite striking, from every point of view. The originality, drawings to the models all out of an idea that is intriguing and inviting—the interior and exterior of their coalescence. Lovely.
