CORRIDOR TRANSFORMATION

Andy Goldsworthy, Storm King Stone Wall

"… the sensation of being surrounded is primary and universal: the maternal womb, the room, the house, the canyon of the street, the final enclosure of the horizon and the hemisphere of the sky – they all belong to us. The primary awareness of being

inside is directly reflected in the house as a surrounding shelter… and is supplemented secondarily by the experience of being outside to other things."

Rudolph Arnheim, The Split and the Structure

“All architecture functions as a

potential stimulus for movement, real

or imagined.

A building is an incitement to

action, a stage for movement and

interaction.

It is one partner in a dialogue

with the body.”

Robert J. Yudell, “Body Movement”, from Body, Memory
