ABSTRACTThis paper is about the complex relationship of humans with land and water. This relationship is studied through the eyes, nose, ears and touch of second-year architecture students as a pedagogic approach to sensorial perception of the environment both built and natural. The project is designed to make students more receptive to experiential conditions in the built as well as the natural environment. At the surface, the project is a boathouse but its simple program belies the larger issues of site and experience as design drivers. The power of place and the simplicity of action define the design experience. |
