Intimacy can be defined in many different ways.  Three ways in which we have researched intimacy are in the realms of psychology, culture, and phenomenology.

Cultural intimacy as a research topic has proven to be too large of a topic considering our client is not yet specified. In order for this intervention to be available to everyone, it is a more prudent use of time to focus more on the phenomenological and psychological aspects of intimacy and how we can relate these concepts to life in the public sphere.

−
#Communal areas should be located between distribution of groups/functions and should be tangent to circulation space.

−
#There must be a clearly defined entry condition, and this condition must treat entering and exiting as separate and unsymmetrical acts.
+
−
#The hierarchy of space must be defined so that the deeper one explores the intervention, the more private the space becomes.

−
#The intervention should provide by protection to the users' backs as well as frame a larger view to which they can orient themselves.

There is an idea of temporary territorial claim that describes attachment to a place or object.  The story that follows is a good example of how humans engage their environments and how their environments become influential in their behavior.

Intimacy

in·ti·ma·cy


  1. the state of being intimate: familiarity
  2. something of a personal or private nature


synonyms: belonging, closeness, inseparability, familiarity, nearness




Intimacy of the Refuge

Pollanhouse.jpg “We are hypnotized by solitude, hypnotized by the gaze of the solitary house; and the tie that binds us to it is so strong that we begin to dream of nothing but a solitary house in the night. With the example of the hut and the light that keeps vigil on the far horizon, we have shown the concentration of intimacy in the refuge”


Gaston Bachelard

Intimacy of Fire

Kampvuur.jpgFirecircles.jpg Fire clearly defines the boundaries of intimate space in the concentric zones that surround it.
The element itself is untouchable, thus it is an impenetrable barrier of sorts.
Next comes 20 - 30 centimeters of space which is too hot for human occupation.
The third zone from the center is finally safe and comfortable enough for human occupation.
The next zone is marked by light but not heat.


Ultimately, the light and heat are no longer noticable, the intimacy of the fire becomes intangible.

Intimacy of Human Nearness

Passillion (link is in French)

Based on the theme of passion, this poetic project attempts to address the meeting, marriage and separation of a French art teacher (the client) and her late husband. The follie, as the function describes, is located on the client’s property in Giverny, France. Situated in the woods but overlooking an expansive hay field, the project responds to certain conditions of intimacy that are embedded in our subconscious.
