The Design Of Frontier Spaces: Control And Ambiguity, Andreas Luescher

Andreas Luescher

In a globalizing world, frontiers may be in flux but they remain as significant as ever. New borders are established even as old borders are erased. Beyond lines on maps, however, borders are spatial zones in which distinctive architectural, graphic, and other design elements are deployed to signal the nature of the space and to guide, if not actually control, behaviour and social relations within it. This volume unpacks how manipulations of space and design in frontier zones, historically as well as today, set the stage for specific kinds of interactions and convey meanings about these sites and the experiences …

Education Of The Senses: Hugo KüKelhaus’ Empirical Methodology, Andreas Luescher

Andreas Luescher

To “live with the senses.” Hugo Kükelhaus (1900-1984) cultivated a philosophy of being that included intuition and feeling. “It is not the brain that thinks, but the human that experiences.” Hugo Kükelhaus’ most enduring legacy are two theoretically and experimentally accomplished investigations of sense processes and the phenomenology of perception: the Allbedeut¬–means everything–infant toys (1930) and production of first set of 32 “play” stations for the Expo’67 in Montreal. Kükelhaus’ interest in psycho-physiological substratum of learning, the erfahrbar (that which can become known through experience), led him to experimental investigations into creative consciousness and sense-based learning. Works by Kükelhaus was …

Creative Inquiry Into Concrete Masonry Units, Andreas Luescher

Andreas Luescher

A fundamental principle of architecture is the interrelationship of materials and construction technique to the architectural imagination. As a result of interplay, interaction, interpretation, and integration, materials give us the opportunity to break away from compartmentalization in the process of structure formation. This shift acknowledges the fact that construction requires a way of thinking: that embodied experience is qualitatively different from abstraction and is a critical component in the evolution of ideas. First-hand knowledge of materials - not only what they look like, but their texture, their heft, their pliability and the ways in which they are joined together - …
