Overcoming the barrier of vision: approaching architecture beyond ocularcentrism and through phenomenology

Περίληψη
Abstract
Key-words:
Ocularcentrism - PhenomenologyPerception - Spatiality - Visual Impairment
The aim of this research thesis is to investigate the position of vision in society, as it has been composed in the past and examine the variation of this position up to date. The concept of ocularcentrism is being analyzed, utilizing different philosophical theories. Also, the research is examining the importance of vision and other sensory stimuli for perception. After studying the way in which ocularcentrism was established over time, the research investigates the philosophical theories that initiated its dispute. In particular, Phenomenology, which attempted to decipher vision from the pedestal of being perceived as the primary sense and introduced the notion of lived experience. Architecture is being studied from a phenomenological point of view and through the writings of Pallasmaa, Zumthor and Tanizaki that seem to strengthen its empirical side.
In order to understand how the composition of a spatial image
is being formed beyond ocularcentrism, perception, sensory stimuli and architectural meaning are being explored through the lens of blindness and visual agnosia. A non-ophthalmic prism is created by utilizing these approaches which is used in order to grasp a better understanding about architectural space. Notions and concepts are being derived from existing research and research through the questionnaires that were composed for the purpose of this paper. One can argue that these notions are somehow connected to the theories of phenomenological architects and Japanese writer Tanizaki. The aim is to formulate a new series of notions related to perception and multi-sensorial architectural design by utilizing the information that occurred from the previously investigated, non-ophthalmic prism. It is an attempt to approach a phenomenological, inclusive architectural intellect while in search of architectural essence, beyond the barrier of vision.

1) Do you have any visual impairments? If so, what kind? -
1. Nearly blind
2. Yes, I’m totally blind.
3. Yes, I’m blind
4. Blind
5. My left eye is an artificial eye and with my right eye I can see only 20%, if I wear my glasses. Without glasses, I can see 10%.
6. Totally blind. No light perception.
7. Blind without light perception
8. Undiagnosed- no central vision
9. I am total blind, I have no light perception.

2)What is your preferred sense when interacting with a new space?

3) How do you recognize a space? - Πως αναγνωρίζεις
χώρο;
1. Not really possible,
2. by hand (touch the things), by hearing (hear the echoes, the acous¬tics of the space), by footsteps (moving around in the space), and by voice description (someone describe me the space details, the things within it, the colours, materials, distances etc., so I can make a mental picture of the space)
3. Usually with my white cane, but if it’s not possible i ask my friends to describe the space around us.
4. I use a white cane, but I also ask to my friends and family what is around us. And I am looking from the navigation
5. When I was a child my father used to tell me that I can’t see depth well. During time I think my mind started to compensate that. Since I can’t see with my left eye, sometimes I have to turn left to see more on that side, but I’m fine to go to new places alone. Usually I have to go closer to things to see them in details but all together I recognize the overall space even if the picture is not that sharp.
6. Through sound changes mainly
7. Sounds & smells
8. Touch
9. Indoor: Walls, carpets, location of the objects: tables, furniture, etc.
10. Outdoor: sidewalk, corners, location of buildings, or an interesting objects that are important for my orientation.
11.
4) What is your favourite place in your house? Explain what do you 4) What is your favourite place in your house? Explain what do you sense/ perceive there.
1. I like my whole house, because I know, I feel free to move, I feel safe
2. my own room: it gives the most comfortable atmosphere, it’s calm, safe, simply feels relaxing to be there. It represents my taste: contains colors, ma¬terials, decorations and furniture which I like,
whichever position I prefer.
3. I think it’s the balcony. This is the place where i usually sit down and think it over what happened during the day or what i have to do tomorrow. I really like it cause i can hear the voices around myself, for example the birds and the children playing in the school. It’s usually relaxing for me.
4. It’s a kitchen, because I love cooking and I can do anything in there.
5. I love design, so I design my apartment to be modern. I love my living room because I painted one wall for turquoise blue , and I have modern furniture, modern colorful paintings on the wall which makes me think a lot. I like my bad room, because on one of the walls there is a huge wallpaper about the ocean covering the whole wall, I love to wake up and go to be seeing that. And finally I like my lobby, because I made a colorful graffiti with one of my friend on the wall there. So all together I love colors, modern design, I love to see things, what I like, like ocean and I love to see art if it’s mine or if it’s others.
6. Kitchen. More items available and recognizable to me in a smaller space. Touch becomes very important in my kitchen.
7. The kitchen table, which is in the kitchen. I enjoy sitting at the table to read, draw & think. The smell of coffee & spices & the tinkling sound of the wind chime that hangs above the kitchen window are calming & peaceful.
8. My bed- comforting. My living room- safe space
9. My room. I know all the things.
10. I like my room because is not large but i can find anything
5) What is your least favourite place in your house? What is the source of discomfort for your senses/perceiving mechanism?
1. None
2. The bathroom: it’s too small, there’s no space to move or turn around, it could be easily watery, its air is often humid, and there are lot of small things on shelves all around the walls (usually in little glasses) which I can easily push off and break down by my hands.
3. I don’t have this kind of place. I can find something that i like in every place.
4. Actually, I really don’t have that kind of place in my house. Everywhere is comfortable for me
5. The kitchen is long and not that much designed by myself as other places, There is a green corner there though. I like to kitchen too, but if I have to choose a place that would be the one.
6. I guess I would say the bathroom, but my house is pretty comfortable to me all over I know it so well. There is more to do with personal care in my bathroom which takes a little more time and effort than in other places.
7. The living room. The room is loud with the Tv/radio playing, kids playing video games & it is where everyone family & friends hang out. It is a place of overwhelming fatigue for me.
8. Kitchen- too much stuff! Cabinets all over , kitchen island
9. None. It is a difficult question. I live here more than 30 years.
10. None
11.
6) Do you feel like sunlight changes the atmosphere/the way you feel in your house? If so, how?
1. Sometimes it makes my feeling worse because it hurts my eyes,
2. Yes, but not visually. I can perceive the incoming sunlight on my skin, or on the temperature of the room, or the warmness of the lighted furniture or piece of floor. If the sun is shining right through the window sharply, I can feel the warmness of that, and it gives me a positive mood. Because it means that the weather is great outside, the air is fresh, and the birds is singing. Or at least I pair this kind of mental picture next to the sense of the incoming sunshine.
3. Yes, i can believe in it. I realize every morning when i wake up if it’s shin¬ing or not. For sure it helps me a lot when I’m going out to the balcony.
4. I can see the lights and shades, so I always see sunlight changing. whenever sunlight come to my house, I feel happy. I feel like that will be a good day for me
5. Walls and objects are lighter and darker.
6. In some cases yes. Although I can’t see it directly I can tell it’s there in certain parts of my house and it makes me feel more comfortable when I can notice that warmth it gives off and it seems to better my mood as well if I know it’s a sunny day outside.
7. Yes, Sunlight with its warmth makes me feel happy & cozy.
8. Yes-warmer, comforting
9. I have no light perception at all. I like when the sunlight shining in my window. I unable to describe it
10. - Αισθάνομαι
11. -Όχι
12. -Ναι, κάνει
13. -Ναι
7) What is the most interesting building/interior space you have been to, and why?
1. Cathedrals, because of smell and acoustic atmosphere
2. It was a football stadium. It was full of people (20.000 approximately), and the atmosphere was amazingly mind blowing (the sounds created by the crowd, the acoustics of that huge interior space, the temperature, and the feeling as little as an ant within that space)
3. It’s so hard for me because i visited too many interesting places to choose. But it’s true that i can remember for a long time how i can orientate myself in some places i visited. I think it can be because of the nice memories i have from these places.
4. It was a camping place in USA, because everything was accessible and comfortable. especially blind people can do anything they want.
5. My apartment, because here everything is designed as I wanted.
6. On the positive side I would say exhibit halls or museums that have tac¬tile displays as part of the experience. On the negative side, probably indoor malls. There is not set pattern to the construction and it’s difficult to find direction inside where you have a large central open space with high ceilings and then branches off of that space for shops. It is very difficult to navigate by cane and the sounds and echoes are so different in there as well.
7. The CoCa Cola museum in Atlanta, Ga. All exhibits had audio description & at the end of the tour I was able to sample Cola from different countries of the world.
8. Museums- they tend to be more tactile
9. Old castle. Statues, old carpets, old furniture. Everything was
interest¬ing.
10. our house of parliament because we have many-many big places there
11.
12.
8) What is your least favorite building/interior space you have been to, and why?
1. Noisy ones, lack of orientation then
2. University buildings: there are several floors with lots of similar corridors and lots of similar doors, there are often a lot of people around. The classes are often too small (and full of tables and chairs, so it has narrow space to navigate, or it can easily become too hot because of the too many people). So navigate as a blind isn’t very easy within it, or being within it isn’t so comfortable for a whole day.
3. Those kinds of places where i can’t do anything. I visited so many of them where it was beautiful as some of my friends tried to explain but i didn’t hear anything strange. Mostly these are the exhibitions
4. Mostly shopping centers. Because they are so big, confusing and not accessible.
5. Old apartments with old furniture and dark colors or with colors with doesn’t match.
6. Again, it would be indoor malls. Frustrating to an extent.
7. Department stores or malls. The different sounds & smells from all of the different departments/stores blending together is a hearing smell sensory overload.
8. Amusement parks- too many people
9. Every supermarket. A lot of people, noisy.
10. house of parliament and the museums
11.
9) What is something that you appreciate in an interior space (design wise)
1. Clear structure
2. If there aren’t so many things which I can push down and break with my hand. If there are enough free space to move around, no obstacles on the floor.
3. If i can touch the things around myself usually i have opinion, but it’s really depended in the place. I prefer the things which i can use.
4. I think every place needs to have a navigation system. and cafe’s and restaurant’s need a braille menu. That would make our life’s easier. Also, the school supplies and libraries should be an accessible for the blind people so can use it.
5. Modern design, Colors. Not too crowded space.
6. Open area but with set angles of walls and minimal openings of door¬ways.
7. An open floor plan with rooms along the perimeter & items in the floor space not crammed together. Tactile markers & print/braille signs.
8. Big open spaces with comfortable seating
9. I have fears that it is not a “design”: rows on the floor which helps me.
10. Βig places and sound
11.
12.
13.
10) Can you describe a moment when you connected memory and/ or imagination with an interior space?
1. I’m always doing this, because I’ve seen before I’ve lost my
sight (at age 19). I usually try to build a mental picture of the interior space (ask the colours, the materials, walk around, touch the furniture), and after that when I would like to remember that space I use that mental picture. It usually come up my dreams as well in that way which I imagined. (when I’m dreaming about that space)
2. It’s quite usual for me. For example when i change my flat and i came here for the first time to check right after I went back to my old flat i started to equip the rooms in my head.
3. When I was a child, there was a movie it has spaceship in there. I asked my sister how it looks like? she explained to me, and I remember I imagined it
4. Mainly when it was similar to another place or there were certain as¬pects of the place which reminded me for another place or memory. I believe there is a huge role of our current feelings if we find similarities or not.
5. Since I had sight for 19 years there are numerous times I can connect memory and imagine interior spaces as they would be visually. I do this on a regular basis to help with my perspective of an interior space or area.
