Analysis of Space in Architecture: A Perspective on Subject-Meaning Relationship

Abstract

For the subject experiencing architectural space through their body, the encounter with meaning is the initial interaction with reality. This article analyzes the subject's journey in the intersection of space, which becomes a part of meaning construction by experiencing architectural space through the body, on a theoretical level.The tangible indicators of architectural objects encountered during the subject's architectural space experience have been interpreted through a method of analysis. The subject bases its strings on the body-space-experience axis, with the binding force that holds these strings together being the axis of meaning. The subject's axis of meaning is ontological and theologically based, experienced as an act of worship within the space. The subject's ontological stance in the world and its encounters during the process of being present in architectural space are analogous to a ceremonial partnership. The subject's worship experience is a meeting of architectural space that acts as an intermediary between the physical and metaphysical. The subject establishes its binding to the axis of meaning through an Islamic theology-based act of worship that enables a physical bodily experience within the space.The aim of this study is to analyze the bodily encounters during the act of worship that the subject constructs through meaning and to theoretically present the witnessed journey. The theoretical analysis of encounters in architectural space is evaluated under three fundamental conceptual headings: meaning-making, perception, and interpretation. Each fundamental conceptual analysis is created by clarifying the boundary and framework parallel to the subject's encounters with space.
