A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
In Heidegger's work, the immaterial structures of human existence link our “everyday” activities to those moments that are extraordinary. Architectural design activates these relationships when a designer welcomes the uncertainty, contingency, and vulnerability that are fundamental to one's being. A designer's understanding of and involvement in these immaterial structures may foster achievements that are often obstructed by a narrower, goal-driven focus and point the way toward a richer built environment.
