Museum Of The Mechanical Eye: The Phenomenology Of Perception In Architecture, Isabela Sierra
Architecture Senior Theses
Since ancient tines, philosophers have tied knowledge to clear vision. Sight has been deemed the most important sense to mankind. Plato said vision was "humanity's greatest gift." It is human nature to make optical conclusions, to reify, to totalize, to control. What is seen is assumed to certain because of the uncontested and unexplored optical gray areas upheld by our rational and technological culture. We solidified our ocular-centric society by creating vision-generated understandings of knowledge, truth, and reality. Architecture, along with art and film, deals directly with human existence in space. Architecture is the construction of human perception.

Negotiating between the physical and software means mediating perception, therefore physical space is defined by endo-perception and software space by exo-perception. This project investigates the temporary singularity of a frozen moment. Through means of motion Blind Spot will reveal unalienable, hidden software algorithms, stripping off what is not comprehensible and feed back the output back into the process of creating architectural speculation.

A funhouse, a building equipped with trick mirrors, shifting floors, and other devices designed to scare or amuse people as they walk through is the program of choice. Funhouses are designed for the perception of the user. They provide an amusing architecture, as well as an architecture driven by position, form, and most importantly, experience.

In today’s age of technology, online media allows wider access
to architectural photos and information. Through images provided
by architectural firms, magazines, amateur photographers, official
websites, and social media, one can experience a building to
an extent, without ever visiting that physical place. This greatly
impacts the discipline of architecture, as the general public is
able to view, interpret, and criticize works without the consent
or the input of the architect. Before the rise of social media,
architects had great control over what information and images
were released for a project, controlling the perception of the
general public.
