SPATIAL PERCEPTION THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

Pierre Huyghe’s ‘Untilled and Ontology of the Exhibition’ was imperative in this design strategy. Huyghe created a space where visitors found themselves in the middle of a process that generated itself (Hantelmann, 2010) immersed in sprouting growth where hills were overgrown with plants and weeds. The strong affinity between this work and my project sits at the center of his work, with a concrete figure that was placed in an open space that on its shoulders has a beehive. The bees not only disseminated the seeds, they also reproduced, so that the head of the sculpture was constantly growing and after several months was swollen and overtaken (Hantelmann, 2010) This was especially symbolic in the acknowledgement that despite the actual conditions of the site, being effectively a concrete block, the concrete itself does not pose a limit to this aspiration of creating a site of becoming. Where change and growth occur independently from both the designer and the viewer, and symbolically regardless of the concrete an allegory to Anthropocentrism – the man made.
