Abstract

This is an exploration into the design and perception of domestic space through a combination of a vernacular analysis and an investigation into phenomenology. A study of the phenomenology of architectural building materials within the context of a cultural background will provide insight into methods through which the quality of a space may be enhanced by the infusion of cultural meaning through vernacular inspiration. The knowledge gained from this investigation will lead to a design that will use a translation of vernacular building methods to reinforce and give meaning to the elements of domestic space.
