dc.description.abstract | I would like to start this dissertation with a personal recollection that will always remain imprinted within my memories. It was a winter evening. I was lying on the deck of a yacht me and friends had chartered for the weekend. The sun was slowly immersing in a kaleidoscope of reds, blues, purple and yellow down in the west. The bay, silent, not a movement as it silently protected the yacht with its embracing arms. The sound of the waves lapping on the side of the yacht set it in a rhythmic rocking, the others moved on, crawling on to the golden beach that pushed them back in a joyful swoosh. Almost a year has passed since that weekend. Today all I have at hand is a memory of the most perfect space I had experienced in my life. I knew then that I wanted to discover the magic of water that made that space so magical. A magic that I feel has inspired so many writers, artists, poets, musicians and yet too few architects. I searched the reason for this distancing. I sought within water the constituents to develop an architecture as magical in space as that of water. Just like Cezanne I wanted to make visible how water touches me. And that was when I realised that in every emotionally spurred encounter with the world, the world was dialoguing with me with my body. What I saw in visible water was not the visible but the invisible. Hence inVISible water. | en_GB |
