A Comparative Rereading “Library of Babel” and “Ocean Sea” for Writing “Architecture” of Wor(l)ds
Abstract
A literary product could be assessed as an architectural education material because every artwork has potential to be interchangeably used for explaining/introducing what the order is and how structure could be build via elements. In a literary product, author creates a pattern with the words similarly, an architect does the same with the architectural elements. Both of them have the same concern; to build an imaginative world. The more to be searcher as an inventory traveler between the wor(l)ds is the more to discover the way to use the language. Could the architectural student follow “how to make” with wor(l)ds as the masters who know “how to tell” with the stones? Are there any traceable paths between how to make (to build) and how to tell (write- rereading)? Two different texts constituted with spatial narrative elements will be used to make a nexus to architecture; poetic novel of Alessandro Baricco, “Ocean Sea” and Borges’s short story, “Library of Babel”. This comparative analysis signifies how spatial elements are capable to structure philosophy of the wor(l)ds.
