My group and I, after much research and discussion, have all realised the most interesting thing about the building is the people within it. Having a close relationship to the site ourselves, we understand that many other people who use it may feel a similar connection. After spending many hours studying, reading and just being in the library, alone or with others, we feel the library has become a part of us. Therefore, does that make us be a part of it? Are we changing the building with our presence? Do people and buildings share something?
The human body does share some similarities with buildings, for example, they are both physical and definitely real. However, do buildings highlight more emotional, metaphoric and spiritual elements that may not necessarily be obvious? Does a building offer something much deeper than just structure?
This led to the idea of embedding ourselves into the architecture of the building, becoming a part of it. With the possible use of sculpture art, my group and I are currently experimenting of mixing body and architecture and creating links between the two.
