The Four Symmetries "A Study of the Shape Characteristics and Expressive Connotations of the Dwelling"

Abstract

This study seeks to study the relations and the shape characteristics and expressive connotations of the house through following it based on the relationship between shape and meaning and their association with human existence. Because it is related to his body and his idea of these relations, which are formed in his consciousness through his movement and locomotion between the blocks and the interior spaces of the house, therefore, what we see in front of us is really what we think, which gives us a sense of surprise and harmony, which explains the close relationship between the visible and the invisible in the things in front of us.

The house and the sense of it is ultimately not abstract; but it carries a broad philosophical content, and that its study from this angle, specifically (phenomenal), give it its true meaning in this world, here is the gap that the study seeks to research, in terms of experience living and sense of place and the interaction of the individual with the place and specifically housing and the internal vacuum of the place.

This study concluded that the dwelling is inseparable from the self in terms of the visual formation of the blocks and shapes; rather, the house and the body are intertwined with memories. The sight of familiarity and feeling of residence is not only born of childhood memories; but this feeling may be generated by what the dwelling impose on us of the data in the phenomenal shape of it, and therefore what the shape of the rooms achieved by central concentrates, the harmony of shape, color and texture are the ones that motivate us to enjoy the dwelling and thus can be formulated and arranged in harmony and correspondence to achieve familiarity. The availability of shape characteristics of certain patterns and systems and the provision of sufficient internal spaces contribute to a kind of affinity between the self and the subject as a whole (between the inhabitant and the inhabited), which is a necessary objective for realizing the idea of housing awareness.
