4 elements 4 consciousness

through my exemplar analysis I have arrived at a point of realisation that the overall scheme must incorporate an adresses 4 elements within the human consiousness and that relationship with the environment...

the 4 motivating elements must address...


1. a sense of introspectiveness (a deeper understanding of one's self) - the courtyard

2. a sense of extrospectiveness (a connection to the world around us - others) - open floorplan - external views

3. a connection to earth (an understanding of our relationship with the ground below) - touching the earth lightly - reading the contours of the land - the now

4. a connection to the heavens (an understanding of our ephemarilaity) - a centrepiece drawing the eye inwards and upwards - the future

 

 

in a sense parralels could be drawn between this and the notion of the 4 elements - earth, wind, water, fire...
