Art in Space

Integrating art into architecture is not a new idea. Much as architecture is perceived as a form of art, it stands out from others as it can be inhabited and used, where people become more than spectators of displays but participants in it. Art works are no longer perceived as displays on the wall. Distance between the spectator and the object is eliminated; the space becomes a filter, through which the viewer experiences art.

How to convey art through the making of architecture?

Where are the intersections of art and architecture?

How can art be spatially experienced by the public through the making of city infrastructure?

Scale, color, form, light, focal point and multiple-views are some elements used in constructing a piece of art work. It directs viewers’ eye movement and at the same time it manipulates one’s visual experience. In architecture, it manipulates viewers’ body experience by transforming forms and art elements from the surface of canvas to space. By bodily moving through the space and perceiving different views and forms, the building becomes the filter to view art.
