Encounter
The experience of presence We hold no expectations on inner - city ventures, the focus is within the destination. The uniformity of highway signage, with generic information delivered at a glance, high-lights the ease at which they are forgotten. Despite the everyday activity of driving, many are forced into auto-pilot, barely recalling the journey they have just taken.
Something happened
To create a strong impression on the encounter, we have created an object without an obvious form. Through abandoning the visual solidity, and embracing the genuine spatial encounter, we attempt to differentiate the installation in the way of leaving impression: it does not carry a universal image, any message. This uncertainty highlights the structure, making it stand out within an on-lookers vision.
The task of architecture is to strengthen our sense of the real, not to create settings of mere fabrication and fantasy. The essential mental task of the art of building is mediation and integration. - Prof. Juhani Pallasmaa. Helsinki University
