dissertation (tentative structure (Example: Lets say I want to communicate…

- - - - Condensing the concept into a word
  - - - language
      - art
      - architecture
  - - - word: "the lord is my shepard
    - - visual:
    - - experiential and social:
  - - - therefore each medium has a certain "code"
  - - - example in language: the syntax conditions the meaning
        
        form is structure
  - - - everyday language
      - drawing a direct literal representation
    - - metaphor
  - - - just like language is a tool to communicate and externalize the patterns in our mind instantaneously. could a tool be created for one to learn how to transfer the conceptual patterns in our mind into architecture efficiently ?
- - - - mapping
        
        mapping is a process of abstracting our experiences of reality
        
        words
        
        art
        
        architecture
        
        what distinguishes a better map from a poorer one is the degree to which they have structural similarity to the underlying reality.
        
        the creative thought process
        
        a dynamic map for the dynamic reality
        
        the map need to constantly re-organize itself to match the terrain
        
        finding form in reality
        
        architectural language should have a structural similarity to the meaning you want to convey - evidence of this is when you when you see a building and it just doesn't seem right to you or vice versa, you look at a building and it makes complete sense
        
        imagine the strange feeling one would get if they tasted food which was labelled as salty and it was actually sweet
        
        understanding the map-territory relationship
        
        testing
        
        demonstrating metaphor as a tool
        
        ORGANIZATION
        
        MOVEMENT
  - - - understanding what provokes organisation
    - - it is essentially the way we think - therefore understanding it and documenting it should help understand how to control the organization and re-organization of thoughts
    - - metaphor is organizing
    - - tests
        
        documentation of the metaphoric process
    - - showing the structural similarity
  - - - showing how meaning with words is no different to playing with lines and sketches.
    - - really understanding changing meaning along the way
- - - - organisation
    - - does metaphor allow us to bridge the dynamic of reality with "frozen" representation in language ( be it linguistic, art or architecture).
      - how can the expression be as dynamic as reality?
  - - - showing understanding is just a matter of organisation.
        
        and the metaphor is a tool for arrangement
        
        its a matter of constant organisation and re-organisation of data
        
        what are the benefits of this?
