⌻◘ DREAM DIMENSION Undergraduate Thesis
2020 - 2021
“十年前我去看路易·康在海边的萨尔克生物研究所，曾看到有人在那面海的广场上发呆，然后开始哭泣。
那一幕让我印象很深，就像空间中人的心灵有了个暂时的停顿。” —马岩松
“10 years ago when I visited Louis Kahn’s Salk Institute on the the Pacific coast, I saw someone on the plaza facing toward the ocean, staring into space.
He started to cry, and I was struck- it felt like the soul just paused in the space.” —Ma Yansong
From the mind to “dream dimension”-
Architecture is a total work of art that’s capable of creating a vacuum in time and a seperate dimension to hold the individuals within, and my thesis project is on the quest to make an architecture of the mind’s eye, unveiling the inner world of the visitors, revealing and strengthening the intrinsic connectivity in the brain, and offering a place to connect and be hyper-conscious of one’s mental events.
Or-
In other words, to make a REM-dream-like architectural experience that can possibly take the visitors to experience this rare state of consciousness, blur the boundary between the real and the unreal, and eventually, recall them to themselves.
How can architecture awaken the underlying connectivity in humans, enlarge it, and let it manifest itself ? Can architecture provoke awareness of sensory to the inner and outer environment and make the mental perceptible?
