4TH SEMESTER - The Terralien
The Terralien — (Terrain + Alien): An Intra-Epiterranean1 (extruded out from the earth; a subdivisioned growth derived from the planet) Superorganism2 (qualities
of a living breathing organism; upscaled fractally ...) that can act as a
synergistic host with lower-scale species/organisms—plants/animals—i.e.
a coral reef [for humans], etc.
We are multidimensional, gestalt beings. We are unbounded—the
boxes that we pervasively grow up through subliminally tackle our
infinite abilities and knocks them into illusionary confines—we bask too
often in traditional architecture. The systems of architecture,
neurologically-speaking, are abysmally archaic—we reference too much of
what is traditional and conservative: we, in those ages that we
reference, looked solely at fulfilling our lowest needs of
survival—providing warmth, safety, etc. We have surpassed those
preliminaries in Maslow’s diagram—We now must supersede; progress to the
next tiers. We should look at enabling more flow from which categorical
boxes are unable to do, as they obfuscate reality—physically, and
eventually cascading mentally—creating finite faces and strict
boundaries; We need to develop more self-reliance and
self-sustainability through uncapping potential both inside and out of
form—ignite a epoch of smartly-gained cognitive liberation; make people
aware that there is not a limit to thought, as our true abilities lie
outside of a arbitrarily chosen system of a cubed reality..
We live amongst forms, we act on and react to things whilst shrouded and
compassed by them. Shelter is a human necessity—what portion of this
contributes to our mindlessness or ill-minded thinking? Maybe we have
too much going on; too many predetermined assets that obstruct our
unique manifest-yearning view of the world, causing us to fall in to
tribalistic and egoistic states. Presently, the grand scheme of general
architecture does not consider, think, and act in the synergistic
relation of neuroscience and psychology—completely silly. We add so much
into architecture to act as remedy to what we think will help the mind
and body subtract the negative … The real present presence of it falls
into a paucity—pulpy dregs of an idea that someone had. We don’t think
about the constraints/corner we have put ourselves into through the
rabit hole of building codes… It scares and intimidates aspiring
inchoate designers who are teasingly unbounded by the torrents of
evolution. Are there obscurantic features that hinder us from optimal
states of being? Could there be a design-based apocatastasis of
dissolution of negative human behaviors, that run rampant and contribute
to a degradation of our system that we just mark as just was is. Could
there be implementations that provides heightened cognitive function,
creativity, and conscientiousness, that also represent at the same time a
dissolving of cognitive biases/ego-awareness and awareness of shallow
perspective that burdens people to wind off the true direction of their
work and absorption. All should be realized that they are the roots of
major problems in our society—this project seeks out to find
alternatives in form that can invigorate potential. This is a study
through the relationship of the mind and form to determine if—through
certain structure/form design, and establishing this concept in the most
holistically erudite-needed department of the human race: the
Early-Education System.
