Architecture’s Unconscious

Architecture’s Unconscious

This project is built around a series of informal meetings including architects, artists, philosophers and scholars of cognitive science and psychoanalysis. The project aims to uncover the processes of environmental perception – with particular emphasis stories of unexpected, non-verbal encounters which are born of and a pre-linguistic sensation of space. These incidental sensuous encounters with place -whether labelled as unconscious or not - are vital when discovering the qualities of spaces.
