Week 4

This week we did a tabling of our abstracts. Having to write an abstract and come up with more revised key words and start to write an abstract really pushed me to revise what I want to look at.

Sublime: New Design and Architecture from Japan" by Klanten, Bolhöfer and Meyer


Some useful information on the way Japanese culture looks at the boundaries between inside and outside.





Abstract

Currently we live in structures/dwellings that aim to shut nature outside. Why do we do this?  It has been proven that it is beneficial for humans to spend time within nature for many reasons both physical and mental yet we shut nature outside and stay hidden away from it. I aim to change this and ask why we don't live with nature at the heart of the dwelling.



Keywords

Inside/outside
Dwelling
