Some notes on the book "The Poetics of Space"

Inquiry:

How can architectural space be evoked by the reader/ different people, to have the similar space quality, despite the barriers of generations and geometry boundary, distinct personal experience?

The power of literature:

The function of literature: poetry/imagination puts literature in a state of emergence, in which life becomes alive/the reader’s own through its vivid description.
Through reading, one has the feeling of being at the spot (emerging). That he has transcended the time to live the life of the writer’s.

Project idea:

It (part of my project) talks about the reader’s translation of the writing and making it his own version of understanding the space being described. And that could be so “real” that deep within his mind forming his memory of the virtual experienced world.
(Three suitcases is to be designed.) The suitcase is a memory theater where loci are remembered with detail ornaments. It is carrier of a journey that they (the three characters) want to hold and suspend the time of being. Therefore, the suit case can be seen as a space for compressed time and events.
