Seminar on the Architectural Imagination
Directed by John Shannon Hendrix
What can psychoanalysis offer to the imagination and creativity of architects, in understanding their role in society and solving problems? What does architecture tell us about the human psyche? The imagination is necessary for architecture as a mode of knowledge. The imagination bridges the gap between perception and understanding. Architecture is a mode of thought, different from other ways of thinking. How does the imagination work, in the relation between the Imaginary, Symbolic and Real, in the intersection of perception and language? What role does the unconscious play in the formation of images in dreams and the imagination?
