The answer may be right or wrong, but my point is that your answer needs to use your imagination to perceive it. This is an important concept for linking architecture and the user together.
Architecture is the record of people’s lifestyle, their thoughts, and perceptions in that period of time. Architect is like a book that has its own story but if people do not know how to read, it will be just plain papers. People’s imaginations are not the same, it depends on many factors. Firstly, the main factor is Age. Secondly of the main is a person’s experience. Lastly, will be their lifestyle. All these factors make people have different imagination and perception.
Age, experience and lifestyle effect perception and imagination in different ways. Age can make people living in different time periods, have different thinking methods and point of views that are related to their experiences. This also relates to people’s lifestyle in that time period too. For example, modernism approached the industrial revolution period, where people in this time period had different lifestyles and thinking methods from today, which quantity was important. This includes making money, so modernism architectures will get use to their work. After that, there were world wars 1 and 2, after the wars there were new thinking methods, which became post modernism. In this period, age, experience and lifestyle all have more esthetic. It makes post-modern have different style from modernism.
In conclusion, this class makes me see a more in depth view of the background of architecture and understand how the imagination and perception is important and how its work.
I am glad to hear that this class helps you better understand the role of imagination and perception in shaping the world around us. However, I must caution you about confusing imagination and perception. What you see, how you see it, how you understand meaning, how you create meaning, either in life, fiction, fantasy or the imagination, is always framed by your perceptions. The most creative minds of all time were very imaginative, but the conditions of possibility of their imaginations have always been shaped by their perceptions. Perceptions, through habitus, enable us to make meaning out of what we interact with. The things we imagine can only be imagined because our perceptions first determined what combinations of words, things or meanings were even possible. You begin with a video of a woman chewing something, and tell us we can only imagine what she is chewing on. Would you imagine that she is chewing on gum, or that she is chewing a money, or human flesh, or that she is currently eating her iphone? You probably did not think of the latter because your perceptions already decided that those are not possible, therefore directing you to imagine that she is chewing gum.
