The Transmission of Accumulated Immaterial Senses in Architectural Education

摘要

The questions about epistemology and knowing the truth about theuniverse have been matters of much discussion in philosophy, anda diversity of thoughts have been produced on these subjects. Thedichotomies of “objectivity/subjectivity,” “thought/intuition” and “rational/irrational” have embodied these thoughts, and reveal the main discussionsthrough which ideas have been channelled. The intention herein is to focuson where “experimentation” in contemporary architectural educationshould be positioned among these concepts of philosophy. By looking intothe subjectivity, intuition and irrational sides of the above dichotomies, thispaper aims to analyse “intuition” in critical experimentation, and discusshow “intuition” can contribute to teaching and learning the senses inarchitectural education
