BERNARD TSCHUMI
Manhattan Transcripts
Micheal Hays talks about
Bernard Tschumi’s notion of
“desire” and declares that
Tshumi interrogates that if we
produce architecture through
the reality or through our
senses. Tschumi believes that
the thing which seduces us is
our senses and we are restricted
in terms of perception; it is not
like the reality itself. Desire is
what puts us forward to explore
or imagine more. That’s why he
advocates the production of
architecture through our senses.
According to Tschumi, the
experience of a space is more
important than the drawings of
a space; we should explore and
experience to have a better
understanding of the space. We
always have a desire to see, to
hear or to touch to understand
the environment around us.
Tschumi is influenced by
Lacan’s psycho-analytical theory
and he gets help from the
theory to produce architecture.
