This First Year Architecture lecture was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja for students of Curtin University's Architecture School. This lecture series is part of my unit Visual Literacy, where we learn the visual language of architecture, and how to express our ideas to others.
This is lecture six of the series, and is taught in tandem with the Photoshop for Architects Tutorial also available on this channel.

I think good Architecture really needs the Architect to feel the feeling the client seeks. If I'd design for many different clients this could be challenging as I'd need to understand more of the human experience. I know this sounds maybe a bit pretentious at first, but I strongly believe empathy comes from having experienced something myself. So how can I know what a group of meditating business people truly need if I cannot feel how they feel in their business during the day and how they want to feel in the evening when they meditate or what meditation actually means to ME? Just one example out of infinite possibilities..... Maybe a four person family wanting a suburban house. How are they ticking? Do they like to stand out and like the obvious extraordinary? Or are they more modest on the outside but are keen for little unusual details? Do they just want a functional house or do they resent too much order and want something more quirky where you can get lost in while still being able to do everyday chores and care for the kids? What do kids need actually? My point is, I'd really get to know the people up front intimately as much as possible. Otherwise they will never truly feel at home. It will be A home but not THEIR home. Architecture has so much to do with the psyche. It can allow the psyche to unfold because we feel respected to our depths and trust the building. Or it can press and squeeze us so we become one-dimensional. It can put pressure on us through too much perfection or allow us to be ourselves through simplicity and maybe a slight crack in the wall, unpolished wood or natural untreated stone..... I love it!

Totally agree. New research is pushing into neurophenomenology. The overlap between neuroscience and psychology, and the felt-experience of architecture. The other side to what you’re discussing is Spatial Intelligence and the idea of Spatial History - that we experience architecture before we can even say the word, and that every experience we’ve ever had acts as a lens through which we view architecture as good or bad. Highly recommend reading Leon Van Schaik’s Spatial Intelligence. Great fields.

@@ChrisMewburn Interesting! Isn't that strange? There's infinite space ...... you restrict that space, put a wall there and a window there and it creates a feeling, a flow of energy felt in our bodies. Strange and mysterious. In Jazz there is the term of "Freedom in the form (the musical piece)". Without any form (attempted in Free Jazz sometimes) there can't be felt any freedom. Freedom needs a form so we can feel the liberation. It cannot exist without restrictions. Strange.... It's like the transition space in the Collusseum where you enter from the outside, go through the narrow dark into the broad spectacle and fresh air. I can imagine how different those rooms sound going though them. And the way back: from the spectacle through the narrow dark (almost sobering) into the day to day live. It's like the bath-Architecture you presented. A similar experience of some sorts but more intimate!
