Abstract

The subconscious thinking governs the way the built environment is experienced and organised by its inhabitants. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET explores how our subconscious thinking provides alternative spatial narrative and design methods. The explorations in this issue highlight the different conditions and realms of the subconscious, as well as the various ways of learning and making driven by subjective subconsciousness. These inquiries offer deep thought on how the focus on subconscious thinking reveals hidden experiences and knowledge of architecture, as well as celebrating speculations and open-ended qualities that allow architecture to evolve.
