Gaudí had a deep admiration for the natural and all forms of nature. He even saw how nature provides an underlying skeleton for all man-made objects, especially architecture. He believed that all buldings, in which we live and dwell, are 'caves', a primal need that we have craved since ancient times. In prehistory, the earliest humans lived and grew in caves. They decorated them and made them into homes. The caves became their lives. Grand spaces that the human form needed, craved.
I too think that one of the most important spaces to me, and to everyone, is that space that shelters and holds us - be that our homes, our rooms, or any other enclosed space that we feel at home. Perhaps we create these spaces based on that ancient archetype of rocky walls and dripstone formations. For this project , 'To Sense my Space', i feel compelled to explore my space in relation to what's around me, the cavernous forms that surround me every day, and how i can sense this longing for enclosure.
