2015 SEMESTER 2, Independent Design Thesis Proposal
I have this curiosity of existence, being and questions of where all things are come from, the truth or explanations called ontology. I am sure it is not only me who had and have this curiosity. I am dying to find out what it is. It even makes me cry and at the same time amazingly delightful. But most of all, It made me land on the world of architecture, after music, literature, psychology, fine arts, and philosophy. Architecture to me seems like a gate to the existence, and to the truth. And it is a thread of understanding how a thing is becoming its own quality. Through out this design thesis. I would like to research this matter further by pulling the thread of truth in architectural design which includes time, space, place, being, repetition, tectonic, narrative and the truth. Predicted major process would be 1.analysing philosophical theories, then 2.develop them into own design language for architecture. However, the outcome will be decided depends on the final theme I will find after midsemester under the supervisor, Greg Missingham. #keywords Philosophy, Deleuze and Guattari, ‘What is philosophy?’, ‘Difference and Repetitions’, ‘A thousand of plateau’, ‘negotiation’, Architecture, Louis Kahn, Peter Zumthor, John Hejduk, repetition, tectonic, narrative.
