Abstract:
The imagination is beautiful. It is the faculty of the mind where anything can happen. But as life unravels around us, the essence of our intentions are lost. We are all overcome by the way things should and will be when we have the opportunity to ask what it can be. It is the moments of awe and the spaces that overwhelm that bring students to learn architecture. To keep that moment of awe alive and the imagination vivid is what a school can hope to achieve. An architecture student is always asking what it can be, but as the institution takes over with allocations and curriculum, we forget sometimes why we are there in the first place. This thesis reflects on the way our imaginations are formed by experience and interaction. Going back to the beginning, to find out the essence. Exploring and assembling three great imaginations and creating machines for design. We are then left imagining, what this architecture could be.
