ARCHITECT A SOCIAL REFORMER?

Architects’ Perception of space is loaded with multiple living layers that are articulated as bits and pieces of a variety of events that might have taken place over a range of time periods. The recollections are assembled in an imaginative plane in the form of a collage done in a virtual space grid. The perceptive layers expressed in tangible media are very intricate in nature. The nature of the complexity of these realistic, experiential, associational, hyper-realistic, and idealistic layers is jumbled up in the form of perceived augmented reality. The article is an inquiry to identify some of the potential layers that bang or should preferably resonate with the designers’ thought process. The basic motivation for the article is a study of theoretical discourses carried out by architects, and academic and design theorists. The method adapted for the study is to load a neutral space grid with two kinds of perceived scenarios; One scenario is rendered by doing a collage of selective social happenings on different planes in real time reproduced on the same plane in a hyper-realistic space grid, while the second scenario is created by loading the same space grid with a wholistic space configuration taking place within an existing overcrowded street. The comparative analysis is carried out to highlight the gap between ‘imagined space’ and ‘adapted space’. The article's objective is to engage designers in a conceptual dialogue – an inner speech to come up with more sensible and aware responses while taking design decisions. For this purpose, certain space settings are created for architects to critically expand their design horizons and their understanding of design issues to reimagine space configurations offered by the existing set of realities.
