Imaginary Space

A degredation of masses that expand and contract in density to filter light and space.

Imaginary Landscapes No.1 by John Cage explores a figural space through sound. There are a number of distinct sounds which make up the whole piece. The most prominent of which is a slow fluctuating pitch sugesting an auditory perception of expanding and contracting space. As you here the sounds you can relate to an immidiate quality of space. There is an overall sense of depth and symmetry but the image remains ineffable.

From Douglas Graf's Diagrams. Salk Institute, Khan




The courtyard typology organizes space in a series of cells each with a varying degree of dependence or independence on the circulation. Space is continuous, discrete, interior or exterior, solid or void.






The second series of diagrams looks at qualities of light in terms of depth, density and scale.





In section we want to address a fluctuating circulation that will support vertically and horizontally expanding and contracting spaces in relation to program.
