Thesis (S.M. in Art, Culture and Technology)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2012. / "June 2012." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 90-92). / The completion of any visual work is not an arrival, but furthered from the origin, the inner plane of perspective, which is so readily lent from the context of communicating the seemingly coded space from which I am inspired. The closest visual language within my grasp to elucidate my inquiries and to extend the physical works into a shared plane of seeing is through prose. This exploration of my research through the coupling of visual works, contextualized through the lens of allegory, furthers my understandings to communicate the inconsistencies in visual articulation. The prose in this case will not be treated as a literary work but as an extension of pre-conscious vision around which my practice has centered. When we read, we activate both a consciously aware state and the pre-conscious workings of our memories, this internal plane where perspective can be realized as a special architecture without form. While writing has the potential to motivate all of the senses, I use it in an attempt to restore the concrete to its original state; the internalized presence of its dimension. I am captivated by a kind of site I cannot clearly articulate with words or works, but there is a clarity, which may be revealed through the parallel pursuit that I will here explore. I would like to see this work as a map of multiple dimensions, a set of architectures that together elucidate a whole. / by Matthew Everett Lawson. / S.M.in Art, Culture and Technology
