| Summary: | The ongoing challenge for architects today is how to design architectural projects
that support the creation of meaningful experiences, taking advantage of the link
between building materiality and human sensitivity. New technologies, especially
developments in architectural design study tools seem to make the relationship between
architects, users, and architectural works increasingly distant. Today's architecture
is expected to be able to compose architectural designs that support the formation
of meaningful experiences through our body's sensory systems. The objectives
of this dissertation are: (1) Revealing the character of bamboo, concrete, brick,
and wood as architectural material, through a number of buildings selected as case
studies. (2) Describe the relationship between materiality and sensibility through
spatial experience experienced by research participants. (3) Describe the case study
of participants on materiality and sensibility from bamboo, brick, concrete, and
wood materials. This research was carried out through several analytical reviews of
various theories and studies in philosophy, anthropology and architecture such as
Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Martin Heidegger (Philosophy of
Phenomenology), Daniel Miller and Bruno Latour (Anthropology), Christian Norbert-
Schulz and Juhani Pallasmaa (Philosophy of Philosophy) Phenomenology in
Architecture), and others. The research method used is the research method of Phenomenology.
This study describes the steps of phenomenology to bridge the union
between materiality and sensibility. This dissertation concludes that giving meaning
by human sensibility to material can form a bridge of unity between materiality
and sensibility through the senses possessed by humans. |
