The research is around the concept of “image”, a pure product of imagination as Gaston defined. The concept of image is meaningful for architects to study to realize and recognize the origins of unconscious origins of poetic spaces. The aim is to use the understanding of image to recreate and reproduce inhabitable meaningful space. At the same time, by conducting making on home, new understanding of home will hopefully be seen. The significance of the thesis is firstly presented by the final artefact that is the direct outcome of studying image about home through the making process. And secondly, the methodology of translation could be applied to other similar situation and provide a way of design. ER -
