Description

Designers seek to create environments which offer their inhabitants comfortable, desirable, meaningful or other qualified forms of experience. Some successful models/solutions involve synthesis of space and person as mutually constitutive. There is understanding of union of space and person as dynamic. Models of space inhabitation or design which recognize such a dynamic relationship are said to view space as relational. In this paper, we claim space as relational. We also present the case that emergent in actualizing the relational idiom is the idea of threshold. Threshold is many things and complex. It symbolizes crossing but also pause, end but also beginning, a brief moment but also extended duration. We explore the concept of threshold within physical, perceptual and rational frames. City and cultural spaces have pleasures embedded in the idea of threshold. Through critical analysis and intervention the designer can tap into those pleasures for the benefit of the user.
