Journey of emotions

During design site research I used my emotional senses to understand the public space through interaction with local people. During visit to wednesbury maket I experienced series of feelings impacted by the social atmosphere which I documented in form of map (Refer above figure). The map explains the evolution of perspective towards space unfolding the non-visible sense of built environment.

In proposed public building I want to create a specific pattern of movements that can impact on emotions of visitors through various functions of building to embrace the emotions and movements of public.

During the analysis of Wednesbury town I explored the theme of Market being a live theatre based on Jose Martinez Sanchez’s theory in her book ‘Body, Architecture and performative space’. Considering architectural space as a human characters which later developed a story of dramatic relationship between various public spaces in wednesbury based on history and current situations.

Mapping the process of thinking lead to curiosity about black country and Wednesbury. (Refer below figure ) Understanding the space through conversations and online profile of these places developed a confusion and mixture of positive and negative thoughts. Documentation of initial reaction towards a place contains purity and honesty of thinking before it gets contaminated by reasons, explanation and external variable opinions. So documenting these mental instincts in a visual form to compare with the further actual physical experience can help to understand the difference and factors responsible for it. The drawing represents the state of mind during introduction to site.
