Sequences of sun, space and shelter Journal of Landscape Thinking eye Leca de Palmeria, Porto Sequences of sun, space and shelter
Torben Dam og Peter Lundsgaard Hansen Man tror, at arkitekter skaber et sensorisk fænomen på baggrund af en idé, men de skaber tværtimod et sensorisk fænomen til en idé. Med deres drømme åbner arkitekterne ikke dørene for, at det åndelige kan komme ind i dagligdagen; de hæver derimod det daglige til fantasiens plan og slipper den fysiske virkeligheds imaginære indhold fri. Tektoniske designprocedurer kan derfor ikke gengives. Kun gennem billedlige udtryk og konstruktive analogier kan vi styre dem.

Narrow, wide space with reflecting white natural stone
Deep shadow and privacy, horison a thin line
Eyes wide open, tarred timber texture in highlights
Coming out open to the sky
Coming, coming
Light and texture
Threshold to the sea
The sky and horison
