THIS PAGE FOR HAPTIC MAKING IS IN PROGRESS
Introduction
Haptic Making
Haptic is a word that generally relates to the sense of touch. Haptic Making, then, might be construed as "hand-making". However, in this section of my website, and the blog below, I am referring to both the simple hand-making where one might string beads for a necklace to the full bodily experience of "making" that can come from dancing, gardening, or building a wall. Hapticity is important in the world of architecture as you truly experience a building, not necessarily from the way it looks, but by the way it feels... how your body experiences a space when you walk into and use the rooms. Materials, volumes, roughness, softness, loud, and quiet all can be perceived by your body in a space.
A thesis which speaks to Haptic Making, not only as a physical experience, but as an experience that is interrelated to time;
Particularly time as perceived in cycles and seasons.
