In a time when everything is going as fast as possible and the average human attention span is decreasing due to continual connectivity, an architecture that engages body and mind has never been more important. Stress narrows our attention and connection to the present moment and personal encounters. How can space create consciousness so that we become more aware and mindful in the present? My thesis draws on the theme of ”mobility”; the spaces created in my project include an element of movement to create awareness and consciousness. In my thesis project, I explored the intersection of psychology and space and tried to understand how the body and mind work in relation to space. My intention was to create a framework for creating spaces, one that engages our senses in generating consciousness.
