Kine ti um : an architectonic artefact

The aim of this creative project is the search for an alternative path of spatial understanding and the implementation of an complementary way that seeks to communicate new spatial ideas in the real of architecture.By introducing the hypothesis of a consolidated unit that consists of the triptych space, movement and the perceiving human being, one is necessary to create a media that can potentially help the expression of multidimensional structures.For this purpose dance is introduced in the field of architecture. Choreography and movement notation are structured and interpreted in order to inform the field of architecture on a theoretical as well as on a practical level.By analyzing components of dance, useful elements that can help to "render" architectural ideas can be identified.The second part of this thesis project, provides a way of how to implement the unit space, movement and the perceiving human being, into the field of architecture. A synthesis of elements existing both in the field of architecture and dance, constitute the base for an architectonic artefact. The introduction of an artefact as such, "moves" beyond the expected understanding of architectural space, commonly portrayed as something static and absolute, while it offers new possibilities to spatial perception. / Department of Architecture
