I can’t wait for the day where intuition and logic hold hands.
Or let’s say, I can’t wait for the day where intuition is valued as much as logic or even more.
Despite our technological world with ticking clocks – I do hope I allow my intuition to guide me. I can’t possibly logically define myself or my day or who I am – I see no point in living if there were logical reasons for my existence.
L’aura – I really enjoyed your post. There are times in studio where I do not know why I did what I did. Why is this room suddenly so much larger than the adjacent. Or why did I choose to make this hallway much smaller than most hallways. Or why did I chose to orient my design “awkwardly”? Sometimes, when I design and write I become the person walking through my space and I become the words on the page. I have no reason for my decisions except for that is what my mind is seeing. I have no logic to my mind moving through my design in my imagination – all I have is what my mind tells my hand to draw.
Insecurity is not friendly – it creeps into my designs all the time. Sometimes, I’ve drawn such beautiful drawings and have no idea what it “means” and push it aside in fear of being too abstract when concrete needs to be poured. However, that has been my struggle in architecture – learning to trust my intuition.
Anything that is truly truly powerful in this world is invisible. Logic and reason are visible, that is why we are more comfortable with them – because we can see them. However, if our roles as architects is to take what is invisible to others – such as what our mind can conceive of – and make it visible – then mustn’t intuition be our first language?
