BERNARD TSCHUMI
Pyramid and Labyrinth
According to Tschumi, there is a
distinction between “conception
and perception” of space and
“conceived” space deals with
the “nature” of space. To create
something, to call something
into being; we should first have
an idea about how that
"something" is to be brought
together including its potential
properties so that conception is
the outcome of our brains that is
builder of the architectural
space. In this view, the core of
the space is based on its
conception; not its material
entity.
Moreover,
space
is
also
undoubtedly real. The senses of
someone can be manipulated by
space quite more easily than the
mind of someone can be. The
instant reception of space is
material but the physical
presence of a person takes up
the space itself so their
materiality is simultaneous. This
demonstrates that the space is
also sensorial and equals to the
“conception of perceived space”.
