Movement One key theme that has occurred throughout the research is the concept of movement and ‘the moment of active encounter’ (Pallasmaa, 2012, pg. 67). It can be seen that the journey throughout a pool environment incorporates a series of active elements that enhances each of the senses: for example, changing, entering the water and moving through the water which creates a sensation of adventure and eagerness. ‘An architectural experience is one that ‘encounters, confronters and interacts with memory’ (Pallasmaa, 2012, pg. 68). This highlights the fact that moving from one space to the next, builds up the experience of being on ‘the edge’, interacting with memory and further supporting the theories stated in related literature.
