I believe that through sensory connection to our natural surroundings we will reinvigorate a deeper connection with ourselves and to the environment. Architecture could become the medium to create that connection as well as the physical manifestation of our understanding of existence and of time, which facilitates this connection. This thesis seeks an understanding of self and place through our sensory connection to nature. In our modern world, we are presented with a growing amount of synthetic and manufactured surroundings that are designed to be perceived through sight, while sound, smell, taste and touch are considered secondary senses, and experiential quality is not inherent. Our society is moving farther away from a connection to nature and a connection to the earth. I believe that through sensory connection to our natural surroundings we will reinvigorate a deeper connection with ourselves and to the environment. This thesis is exploring how nature is the medium for a deeper connection and understanding of ourselves, who we are, and how we interact with the environment through sensory perception. Natural materials and practices are being replaced with synthetics, which lack the cyclical nature and life of natural materials. Machine-made products lack the ability to connect on a humanistic level due to their perpetual state of youth. "We are increasingly detaching ourselves from 'organic and functional periodicity' which is dictated by nature, and replacing it by 'mechanical periodicity' which is dictated by the schedule, the calendar, and the clock."³ These fabricated objects intensify the isolated state of man from the natural world through their constant neglect of the senses and disregard for the energies intrinsic in natural materials. It is my belief that to be able to live meaningful and impassioned lives, we must become more aware of fabricated surroundings, and return to natural environment from which we came. By refocusing on natural processes and materials in the built environment, man can reawaken the relationship we have with nature. I believe that through understanding our surrounding's impact, we can connect with not only ourselves, but the environment.

Cities have always been, and will likely always be, hectic. With every new technological advance this characteristic becomes amplified, and today city life offers little relief from cell phone chatter, honking car horns, bustling crowds and towering buildings. This is the essence of the city, and to many can be considered to be part of its charm, but it does not provide opportunities for relaxation and peace, creates an individualized society with little opportunity to form communities and also allows for very little interaction with nature. The goal of my thesis is not to design a way to change the vivacity of the city, but rather to create a fabric within it that would provide temporary escapes into natural environments scattered throughout and inspire a new way of city life. These "natural alcoves" uniquely bring nature into the city and are designed to stimulate the five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and sound. They are connected both by design similarities and shared materiality, and create unique paths between them that run through the city and further insert nature into its environment. I have designed five possible alcoves for Davis Sq., in Somerville. These are not intended to exist independently, but rather to be part of the much larger fabric with even more diverse spaces utilizing similar characteristics, and together could be used as a prototype for other similar surroundings. Olmstead designed Boston's Emerald Necklace in order to provide all city residents with a relief from the pollution, noise and overcrowding of city life. In doing so, he created a network of parks throughout the city that united the greater Boston area through nature. As life becomes progressively more hectic, the need for relief from city life becomes increasingly necessary. We currently have the opportunity to follow Olmstead's lead and produce a framework of places that are compatible with the electronic age but also give a break from frenzied city life.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This monograph on the œuvre of contemporary American author and multimedia artist Shelley Jackson addresses the question of how literary works employ language to evoke sense impressions. Gilles Deleuze’s notion of aesthetic percepts is drawn on to develop a theory of literary phantom sensations which is then tested on the work of Jackson and related authors. Although imperceptible as such, it is argued that percepts are made perceptible in art in sense-specific forms as phantom sensations. “Phantom” is not meant to indicate a pale shadow of real sensations but the intensely perceived realness of phantom limb phenomena, in accordance with Deleuze’s understanding of the virtual as real but not actual. For the sake of clarity, literary phantom sensations are divided into phantom smells, tastes, touches, sights and sounds, with a chapter devoted to each in turn. It is found that different phantom sensations serve different functions in Jackson’s work, correlated to the cultural history of the senses as outlined by recent sensory scholarship. Phantom smells are associated with Deleuze’s concept of becoming due to their liminality. Phantom tastes contribute to an aesthetics of distaste in which shades of disgust are cultivated and drawn upon for literary effect. Phantom touch creates conceptual intimacy and invites the reader to handle words like toys in a game. Phantom sight is turned back upon itself in an anatomy of the eye. Phantom hearing is associated with forms of ventriloquism in which it is unclear who is speaking through whom and in which language itself throws its voice. However, it is also found that all phantom sensations similarly serve to create a material and affective connection between the body of the reader and the body of the text. Throughout the dissertation, Jackson’s work is read against and alongside that of other writers such as Djuna Barnes, Neil Bartlett, Brigid Brophy and Leonora Carrington. Together these form a trajectory termed minor writing for queers to come, which is meant to indicate that aesthetic and sexual-political radicalism go hand in hand. Furthermore, Jackson’s work is described as a form of body writing informed by feminist body art and écriture féminine. Specifically, Jackson takes her cue from early modern anatomical blazons and describes living bodies in pieces. Her work is also described as object writing: a literary equivalent to surrealist object art. A central method for making words more like things is to arrange her texts spatially rather than temporally, as exemplified by her electronic hypertexts.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The present thesis constitutes an empirical investigation of the prediction of Norwich's Entropy Theory of Perception that the positive exponent of the magnitude estimation power function and the negative exponents of equations relating the Weber fraction and simple reaction time to stimulus intensity should, since they can all be derived from the theory's Fundamental Equation, be numerically the same.
A pilot study consisting of magnitude estimation and reaction time experiments (using pure tone auditory stimuli of varying intensities at five frequencies), and a "main" study comprised of magnitude estimation, reaction time, and Weber fraction experiments are described.
The results, while offering possible confirmation of the prediction, remain somewhat tentative, owing to the persistently problematic technique of curve fitting upon which determination of the reaction time and Weber fraction exponents rests.
The theory, in leading one to even attempt to compare such previously unrelated measures as magnitude estimation and reaction time with Weber fractions, has yielded, theoretical issues aside, some worthwhile empirical results: I have obtained measures on three different psychophysical tasks from the same subjects over (effectively) the same stimulus range for each of those subjects; and, moreover have, I believe for the first time, explicitly noted that the Weber fraction displays the same decrease in exponent with increasing frequency, followed by an upturn at the highest frequencies, that characterizes both the equal loudness curves and the reaction time curves a la Chocholle. Suggestions are made regarding supplementary curve fitting methods by which to analyze these data, as well as for future research in the psychophysiological realm which, in addition to expanding the scope of the prediction that is being tested, may provide some much needed insight into the numerical values of the multiplicative and additive constants that occur in the equations under consideration in this thesis.Arts, Faculty of

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Response characteristics and tactile coding capacities of single neurons of the dorsal column nuclei (DCN), and the dorsal horn, in particular, neurons of the spinocervical tract (SCT), were investigated in anaesthetized cats. Purely dynamically-sensitive tactile neurons of the DCN could be divided into two classes, one associated with hair follicle afferent (HFA) input, the other with Pacinian corpuscle (PC) input. The HFA-related class was most sensitive to low-frequency (<50 Hz) vibration, had phaselocked responses to vibration frequencies up to ~75 Hz and had a graded response output as a function of vibrotactile intensity changes. PC-related neurons had broader vibrotactile sensitivity, extending to ~300 Hz with tightest phaselocking between 50 and 200 Hz. The SCT neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn had tactile receptive fields on the hairy skin of the hindlimb and a very limited capacity to signal, in a graded way, the intensity parameter of the vibrotactile stimulus. Furthermore, because of their inability to respond on a cycle-by-cycle pattern at vibration frequencies above 5-10 Hz, these neurons were unable to provide any useful signal of vibration frequency beyond ~5-10 Hz, in contrast to DCN neurons. In the parallel human psychophysical study, the capacity for vibrotactile frequency detection and discrimination was examined in five subjects in glabrous and hairy skin. The vibrotactile detection threshold values obtained at four standard frequencies of 20, 50, 100 and 200 Hz were markedly higher on the hairy skin than on the glabrous skin. The discrimination task was examined by means of a two-alternative, forced-choice psychophysical procedure. Measures of the discriminable frequency increment (?????) and the Weber Fraction (????? / ??), revealed similar capacities for frequency discrimination at the two different skin sites at the standard frequencies of 20, 100 and 200 Hz, but an equivocal difference at 50 Hz. Cutaneous local anaesthesia in the dorsal forearm produced a marked impairment in vibrotactile detection and discrimination at the low frequencies of 20 and 50 Hz but little effect at higher frequencies, confirming that vibrotactile detection and discrimination in hairy skin depend upon superficial receptors at low vibrotactile frequencies, but depend on deep, probably Pacinian corpuscle receptors for high frequencies.

This project proposes a series of architecture and landscape interventions in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Koreas. The Korean war divided Korea into North and South. It divided their territories, and in doing so it also divided many of its families. During the seventy years since the war, the number of survivors of these family separations has gradually decreased through natural mortality, with only about 16 percent of those aged 80 or younger remaining as witnesses. In the next decade the memories of family ties across the DMZ may be lost forever. Very recently, in April 2019, the governments of North and South Korea and the U.S. have agreed to implement a new protocol that aims to ease the tension by requiring both countries to destroy all military outposts across the DMZ, and finally allowing the public to visit several places within the DMZ for the first time. The project started with collecting memories of some of the survivors of the war, traveling west to east across the DMZ. Interviews were conducted with members of families separated by the DMZ, and collecting material samples along the DMZ based on their memories. This preliminary research revealed that the landscapes of the DMZ were still triggering memories of their pre-war lives, over 70 years ago. Geography, materials, and other experiential elements figured strongly in the survivors' narratives. This project proposes architectural design for four different sites along the DMZ that are intended to foster new, non-familial kinship across the DMZ and based on our survivors' memories related to the landscape, material and sensory experience.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) systematically turn visual dimensions into patterns of tactile or auditory stimulation. After training, a user of these devices learns to translate these audio or tactile sensations back into a mental visual picture. Most previous SSDs translate greyscale images using intuitive cross-sensory mappings to help users learn the devices. However more recent SSDs have started to incorporate additional colour dimensions such as saturation and hue. Chapter two examines how previous SSDs have translated the complexities of colour into hearing or touch. The chapter explores if colour is useful for SSD users, how SSD and veridical colour perception differ and how optimal cross-sensory mappings might be considered. After long-term training, some blind users of SSDs report visual sensations from tactile or auditory stimulation. A related phenomena is that of synaesthesia, a condition where stimulation of one modality (i.e. touch) produces an automatic, consistent and vivid sensation in another modality (i.e. vision). Tactile-visual synaesthesia is an extremely rare variant that can shed light on how the tactile-visual system is altered when touch can elicit visual sensations. Chapter three reports a series of investigations on the tactile discrimination abilities and phenomenology of tactile-vision synaesthetes, alongside questionnaire data from synaesthetes unavailable for testing. Chapter four introduces a new SSD to test if the presentation of colour information in sensory substitution affects object and colour discrimination. Chapter five presents experiments on intuitive auditory-colour mappings across a wide variety of sounds. These findings are used to predict the reported colour hallucinations resulting from LSD use while listening to these sounds. Chapter six uses a new sensory substitution device designed to test the utility of these intuitive sound-colour links for visual processing. These findings are discussed with reference to how cross-sensory links, LSD and synaesthesia can inform optimal SSD design for visual processing.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines Shelley’s art of sensuous imagery, or poetics of sensibility. To elucidate Shelley’s concept of sensibility which links his poetry to its ethical and aesthetic concerns, I combine close textual readings of Shelley’s imagery of the senses with his intellectual and cultural inheritance from the ‘Age of Sensibility’ which encompasses ‘moral philosophy’ (ethics and aesthetics) and ‘natural philosophy’ (science). Chapter I focuses on Shelley’s notions of sensuous pleasure and sympathy. _A Defence of Poetry_ is a pivotal text that expounds Shelley’s aesthetic and ethical taste, exemplified by his concept of sympathy. Taking up this argument, Chapter II investigates Shelley’s vegetarian politics in _Queen Mab_, rooted in what I call _(dis)gusto_, ‘taste’ in both its physical and aesthetic senses. Chapter III focuses on aural imagery in ‘Hymn to Intellectual Beauty’ and ‘Mont Blanc.’ Exploring the interplay between motion and emotion reveals how aesthetics and psychology, in Shelley’s lyrics, are associated with the vocalisation of poetic inspiration. Chapter IV considers the relation of sight to Shelley’s notion of the fragmentary in two ekphrastic texts concerned with visual representation, ‘The Coliseum’ and ‘On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci, In the Florentine Gallery,’ which illuminate Shelley’s idea of a circulating and sympathetic power that unifies humans or subject with object, alongside a fragmentary imperative within these texts. Chapter V investigates Shelley’s treatment of touch and Nature’s economy in ‘The Sensitive-Plant’ by juxtaposing Shelley’s poem with Erasmus Darwin’s cyclical system of Nature known as ‘organic happiness,’ which is recognised only by sympathetic sensibility. Chapter VI considers the intermingled imagery of scent and sympathetic love in _Epipsychidion_ in conjunction with Shelley’s theory of nervous vibrations influenced by eighteenth-century psycho-physiological discourses, mediated through the imagery of Venus, whose duality embodies the interrelations between sensuous pleasure and ideal beauty in Shelley’s poetics of sensibility.

My thesis is a Japanese traditional Inn, called Ryokan. The is open to anyone seeking refuge from the rapid pace of urban life, including local residents and tourists, yet is limited to adults in order to keep quietness within. It is similar to a Bed & Breakfast in terms of person-to-person service, yet its emphasis is on the idea of reactivating human senses by offering an intimate experience with the surrounding nature through materials. The intention of my thesis is to explore an experience in Ryokan architect~re. The thesis introduces Ryokan architecture as a typology. Incorporating ritualistic Japanese inn traditions, the architecture is designed with a sense of order, which encourages guests to settle their state of mind. The inn investigates the notion of 'continuity of moments (in time)' through a manipulation of light and water as well as through materiality, which is to lure forgotten human senses. Communal bathing experience within the inn enhances stimulation to human sanity. Beacon Hill in Boston is selected as the site for the Ryokan. The site's existing condition is a 6000sq ft-vacant-lot. Although it is just one block-in from the very active and busy intersection of Charles and Beacon Street, the site offers quietness and tranquility. Given that I sensed the stark contrast between the very busy streets and the solitude of this site, I felt that there was an intriguing quality.

This thesis provides a history of the sense of touch in modern Britain. Seeking out fugitive intimacies and incidental brushes of lover and stranger alike, it argues that far from being a natural constant, what, how, and why people touched, and what they felt when they did, has a history. Through five case studies of different domains - the mind sciences, visual impairment, public transport, law, and commercialized leisure - it explores how these uses changed, and how they transformed Britons' understandings and experiences of their bodies. Both as a practice and a metaphor, from making space on the bus to keeping 'in touch', touch established the distinctions that Britons made between their bodies and the world and themselves and others. In doing so, touch crucially shaped histories of law, labour relations, scientific experiment, education, and love in the early twentieth century. But it also reformulated the very distinctions of selfhood - distinctions of inner self and outer body, person and thing - on which our accounts of modernity are based. By tracing a history of touch, then, this thesis turns touch into a means of critique. It challenges histories of modernity for which selfhood is a substance rather than produced only through particular social relationships. But it also proposes a new way of thinking about selfhood as an immanent relationship the self has with itself through use of the body. Through historically specific ways of touching, early twentieth-century Britons shaped not only their experience of themselves as bodies, but also the boundaries defining them as selves. Their selfhood was, in short, what they did with the body through touch. By exploring the history of touch between 1870 and 1960, this thesis therefore offers an alternative account of British modernity and a way of re-examining histories of selfhood within and beyond modern Britain.

How could the experience of our rituals be made more meaningful? Our experience of ritual exists as an exchange between our memory and natural phenomena in a place over time. These place specific phenomena are filtered by our senses of touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight and balance before becoming part of our memory. It is the task of the architect to create place that heightens certain qualities of local phenomena in order to make more specific and meaningful our ritual s. Too often, today we are trapped in homogenized landscapes of ideas and visual images that overshadow our remaining senses. To allow for more meaningful and personal memory, we must look to total corporeal experience of phenomena in specific places. Slowing our physical actions, we allow all of our senses to engage the world around, and only then do we become more aware of our body and experience in that world. Ultimately, in better understanding our human corporeal and experiential roots we may feel both secure and inspired being part of a system that is far more pervasive and permanent than we are. The project that follows, the renovation of a house in SouthWestern France, is a physical exploration of the question and notions posed above. Phenomena of light, sound and material are explored through the architectural making of place as it relates to the rituals of those inhabiting the house.

This is a study of the body and architecture, the way in which the two experience one another, the way in which one can inform the other. This thesis was centered around the consideration of the senses not as separate inputs, but as one harmonious quality of perception. The project began as an attempt to explore how the non-visual senses could inform the architectural gestation and developed into an exercise using the visual medium of drawings to illicit qualities beyond sight alone. The attempt to capture material quality through abstraction was likened to the search for the divine through our carnal existence on earth. The results attempted to express sensual qualities through a mixture of different media and their layering to demonstrate the development of the whole through the gestation and gradual realization of its fragments.
A site in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia was chosen for its relationship to the tidal water of the Potomac River and the opportunities its previous life as a shipyard presented, as half of the site was excavated into the shoreline. The proposal of a spiritual home, a Cistercian monastery on a site that straddles land and water fit ideally with the theme of addressing materiality and abstract representation, the phsycial and spiritual, and the mind and body. Both the site and the program provided a fruitful counterpoint with which the thesis developed.Master of Architecture

Throughout my years of architecture education I have become more and more aware that we are connected with architecture from the very first moments of our life. Architecture, an important part of our environment, affects our experiences, feelings, memories, and ultimately the decisions we make. To exploring the connection between architecture and the human experience was the intention for my thesis. Whether positive or negative, everything created or done by man has an affect on his environment. Some people are more aware of their architectural environment some are less but at the end we all life with it and have at least an unconscious impression of it. Based on these impressions and the consciously experienced details of our environment, of events we have feelings and make judgments and decisions. The nice dinner on a Friday night which makes you feel comfortable and good, it is a result of the whole environment of the place where you have dinner. Not only the room temperature, your company, your table neighbors, the restaurant staff, the expectations of the coming weekend but more important the dimensions of the space that make it feel grand or intimate, the way sound sticks to the walls or bounces off them giving life to the space, or the way a single beam of light can show you the beauty of colors and materials.Master of Architecture

Based on the principle of sequential lessons for teaching orienteering, the program is a center that teaches navigation to people who are blind, located in the remains of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Through the use of materials, light, and this program of sequential patterns, the architecture focuses on heightening the working senses of the occupants using the progression throughout the building. This connection of the body and mind to architecture creates an awareness of space, unifying a perception of place, while bridging the old life to the new.Master of Architecture

O presente trabalho aborda os sentidos sob o ponto de vista projetual. Seu principal objetivo é trazer contribuições teóricas e metodológicas à pesquisa na área de Design Emocional para o desenvolvimento de projetos dirigidos aos demais sentidos além da visão. Primeiramente, investiga o design de experiências em espaços físicos, questão atual e crucial das disciplinas projetuais tratadas pelo recente campo da arquitetura de atmosferas, a qual, por sua vez, tem como uma de suas principais estratégias contemplar todos os sentidos humanos. Em seguida, traz considerações sobre a importância de o designer expandir sua atenção para além dos aspectos visuais de seus produtos, apontando alguns motivos pelos quais a visão vem sendo tratada como o sentido hegemônico perante os demais. Discorre sobre e ilustra o papel de cada um de nossos sentidos na percepção do meio construído com base nos ensinamentos do psicólogo James Gibson (1966). Descreve, ainda, três importantes espaços físicos projetados com o propósito de promover experiências a seus visitantes e que, para tanto, se valeram de estratégias com foco em todos os sentidos: o Thermal Baths, o Blur Building e o Museu dos Judeus de Berlim. Por fim, esta pesquisa confirma a importância dos sentidos na expansão das respostas emocionais do usuário ao meio projetado.
This work deals with the senses from the point of view of projects. Its main goal is to bring theoretical and methodological contributions to the research field of Emotional Design for the development of projects directed towards the other senses beyond vision. First, it investigates experience design in physical spaces, a current and crucial question studied by the recent research field of architecture of atmospheres, which in turn has as one of its main strategies to consider all the human senses in its designs. Then, this work brings some thoughts on the importance of the designer to expand his attention beyond the visual aspects of his products, pointing at some of the reasons why vision is held as the hegemonic sense before the others. It broaches on and illustrates the role each one of our senses plays on the perception of the constructed environment, based on the teachings of psychologist James Gibson (1966). It also describes three important constructions which were designed with the intention of promoting experiences for their visitors that have used strategies focused on all the senses: Thermal Baths, Blur Building and the Jewish Museum Berlin. Last, this research confirms the importance of the senses in the expansion of the emotional responses of the user towards the designed environment.

Perception has traditionally been studied as a modular function where different sensory systems operate as separate and independent modules. However, multisensory integration is essential for the perception of a coherent and unified representation of the external world that we experience phenomenologically. Mounting evidence suggests that the senses do not operate in isolation but that the brain processes and integrates information across modalities. A standing debate is at what level in the processing hierarchy the sensory streams converge, for example, if multisensory speech information converges first in higher-order polysensory areas such as STS and is then fed back to sensory areas, or if information is already integrated in primary and secondary sensory areas at the early stages of sensory processing. The studies in this thesis aim to investigate this question by focussing on the spatio-temporal aspects of multisensory processing, as well as investigating phonetic and non-phonetic integration in the human brain during auditory-visual speech perception.

The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the neurophysiological basis of multisensory integration involving smell and vision. To achieve this goal, several technical challenges had to be addressed: the attainment of sufficiently high quality fMRI images in olfactory brain regions within the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the construction of a stimulus delivery system adequate for rapid and controlled odour delivery in the MRI environment, and optimal strategies for delivering and perceiving liquid flavour stimuli in the scanner. In two initial fMRI experiments, strategies including sensitivity encoding and passive shimming to improve OFC image quality were explored. The results demonstrated that both methods can improve signal detection in OFC, a brain area particularly sensitive to susceptibility artefacts. In a further fMRI study, the effectiveness of two methods of delivering odorants dissolved in liquids was compared. In this study, the same set of participants was required to either swallow the liquid immediately after delivery or hold it in their mouths for a brief period of time. The results indicated that while both methods allowed detection of activity in primary olfactory and gustatory cortices, activation of the OFC was not observed when participants swallowed the liquids immediately. This was presumed to be due to the increased head motion associated with swallowing. Finally, the mechanisms underlying visual-olfactory integration were investigated using a combination of behavioural and imaging methods. An initial behavioural study revealed strong colour-odour associations for certain smells associated with fruits (e.g. lemon - yellow). In a subsequent fMRI study, volunteers were presented with a selection of the most colour-associated odours from the prior behavioural study either in isolation or in the presence of congruent and incongruent colours. Analysis of the fMRI data revealed that a highly left lateralised network of brain areas comprising of the OFC and insular showed increasingly stronger responses to odour-colour combinations of higher congruency. In a follow-up fMRI study, this same network was also found to be responsible for integrating odours, not only with colours, but also with their corresponding visual images (objects). In sum, the series of fMRI studies undertaken in this thesis argue for a fundamental role of the OFC in the integration of olfactory-visual inputs in the human brain.

As our technologies evolve, the world gets smaller, and it becomes easier for people to travel and mix. Some people travel, some move permanently, creating an exchange of cultures and knowledge. I believe our architecture should also change and reflect this new aspect of our communities. For that aim I propose a new typology of building.
It is a place for people to gather, relax and stay a while, without relying only on other individuals to make the building live and have purpose. The building itself shall be a source of knowledge and experiences akin to tastes and feelings of places abroad.
This will be achieved by combining vernacular architecture from different parts of the world, not by having a French room, an Indian room and a South African room, but by studying the vernacular architecture of these places, and creating a whole new language that can express the multiplicity of those places as one. Someone walking in a room will see an aspect which will be reminiscent of his/her place of origin, whereas someone else entering the same room might notice a different architectural element which will bring forth the image of a totally different place.
As the individual traverses the building he/she will experience a multitude of spaces with different conditions such as height, width, size, but also a change in temperature, humidity, lighting and smells.
Washington D.C. is a very diverse city, with people coming from all over the world, which is a prime example of the melting-pot that is the United States of America. From there, the site was chosen to be in the Dupont Circle area due to the high density of embassies and consulates, business buildings and restaurants.
The building will be similar to an oasis for nomads who would like to go to a place that reminds them of their homelands or for locals to sit by the watering hole and listen to stories of lands far away, while actually experiencing those stories through the building.Master of Architecture
Since a Thesis is one of the rare moments where one can design his own project from choosing the site and program as both client and designer, I wanted to have a project that would be something new and unique. I decided to think about what I could design that would be different, and thus looked inward at what made me different from others. As such I decided to imagine a building that would reflect some aspects of myself, but that would also be relatable for others too. I am French from my parents but also Venezuelan since I was born there in Venezuela. I spent kindergarten in France, was mostly raised in Asia (Bangladesh and Malaysia), and after a year in Cameroon I now live in the United States of America. So when someone asks me where I'm from, I often find myself making an awkward smile accompanied by a silence as I try to understand what the person is asking and what answer I should give. I decided to design a building that would represent the mixture of today's community, a community of nomads where most people have more than just one origin, where we are influenced by the cultures of others. As such my building will be a place for all, with rooms of different conditions allowing the visitor to go to a room that fits his/her preference of size, temperature, lighting and humidity. Similar to how I don't have a Venezuelan leg, a French arm and a Malaysian shoulder, the building was not designed by just copying vernacular architecture from across the globe, but by seeing the common points and combining styles in an all new style that unites and merges the origins together. This is a building that shows how our community is changing and how we can all get along together to make a cohesive whole no matter the differences of the different parts.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 61-64).
In this thesis I discuss methods of projects that create cognitive effects that can be categorized into two situations: through sensation (outside stimulations/objective/bottom-up processing in neuroscience) or through perception (arousing background knowledge of inner mind/subjective/top-down processing in neuroscience). Similar effects can be reached through different ways. For example, to make something disappear, blending it into the environment through camouflage is changing the external stimulation, while a "lilac chaser illusion" is the result of influencing the retina and our brain. I will apply research on human sensation and perception from two perspectives: the psychological (neuroscience) realm and the phenomenological. My research mostly focuses on theories of vision, current studies on physiological information processing in visual systems, and the phenomenological theories of sensation and perception according to Kant, Hegel, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty.
It also includes a conceptual framework for theories of perception, dreams, consciousness, imagination, and hallucination presented by Dennett, Windt, and Metzinger. I also explore case studies of artistic projects and discuss these in terms of the ways that controlling visual stimuli or influencing perception affects the ways we apprehend the visual. Practices that are famous for affecting and challenging human cognition, including light and space arts and opt arts, will be discussed. The artworks created by different artists, such as James Turrell, Ann Veronica Janssens, Richard Anuskiewicz, and Brio Gysin, will be discussed and categorized into either top-down (sensation) or bottom-up (perception) works of art based on the methodology used to affect audiences' experiences and cognition of their work.
Finally, I will also involve my own practice during past years in discovering the relationship between art and neuroscience, the outside stimulation and inside interpretation, the objectivity and subjectivity. Through this thesis, I will argue for an approach that allows for a new hermeneutics of seeing that ultimately enhances the viewer's capacity to perceive.
