The Architectonics of Embodiment

In the reading of the Vesely we will talk about the realtion of the body to architecture.

Architectonic spaces are occupied with different types of embodiments and their impact on human behavoir. Nowadays the effect of arch in the body and emotion is so rare, and the biggest adavtages of siences provide a strong base and we can strongly agree that architecture isn’t a science but a poetic dialogue between designers and people who live in that places. Modern Architects called architecture as the art of creating space or enclosing of space The aspects of architectonic space are based to the perceptual concepts of embodiment of arch. And we can say that the sensory experience of these architectonic spaces is connected to prrceptual mechanisms, visual and somatosensory. The connection of human with environment is studied by environmental psychologists It was Vitruvius the one who compared the human body directly to the body of the building, and he explains the meaning of symmetry proportion and harmony in arch. This body was used not only in cnceptual work but also in their material reality. And then it was Plato who understand completely the corporeality, and he claimed that the body isnt something that can be isolated but it is a part of our process ordering with the domain of necesity. But the body was always been seen as linked with the soul, which in turn is related to the animated structure of reality as a whole, and if a living body is at rest the motion shuould come from the body itself and not from the others. And this was mentioned as the first formulation between human body and their rest of reality, and it was named microcosm, but this microcosm caused very difficulties in modern thinking. To reach the real definition of microcosm we should look closely to the relation of human body and world or architecture Talking about the porportion the origin was from pythagora and plato tradition, and their numbers were known as arithmos. Proportions are reached from deep thinking but they cant be completely achieved, and it was said that proportion was a tool to balance the process and the goal The continous proportion was used from meditation and unity like the mechanism formation of soul. The hierarchy of our reality is connected in perfect proportions as the world, only then we can describe the process of architectinics of embodiments. It is Architecture the one which shows the elementary mode of embodiment connected with culture, putting numbers and ideas.
