Title: BodyMindSpirit: Mediating the Meta-Physical Transition
Authors: Krupitzer, Craig
Copyright Date: 2004
Abstract: This is an investigation that will look at how architecture mediates the body. Also, it will explore the mediation between the building and its site and how the program spaces are mediated to each other. It will explore the connection that one has with his built environment, whether that be at a physical level or a meta-physical level, this investigation will analyze and critically situate a circumstance to test the variables that affect and make up the built environment. Is an entrance as simple as a door, an object that separates one space from another or can an entrance be a space of becoming: one that prepares the person before they enter the new space? Is an entrance more than a simple plane that one passes through, or is there a threshold that begins the act of passing from one space to another and how is that space occupy able? This investigation will attempt to resolve the issues that the thesis question proposes. How does architecture mediate the body to edges, thresholds, inside/outside, and the spaces within itself?
