Nellie: Dan Dunn

THIS IS FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!

Nellie: Top 4 Things We Learned about in Class

1) Liminality: rites of passage, games, rituals
2)Performativity: speech acts, iteration-->make something happen with what you say
      ex) "I do", "I bet"
       ITERATION: roles, attitudes of different roles being played
3) Social Art: relational easthetics, participatory culture
     -ex) Sally Wlaker camp girls piece
      . audence becomes the producer
      RELATIONAL AESTHETICS: people interact with architecture and how they interact with the 
      architecture
      PARTICIPATORY CULTURE: how people get together and interact
         ex) Facebook
4)Embodiment: intersubjecivity
 -the world is not "there", but in your head where you see it, which is from your senses
"All light comes from within."
-we are creating the world through what we know and how we perceive it.
-I'M A SUBJECT ABD OU ARE A SUBJECT, + HOW WE INTERACT =INTERSUBJECTIVITY.

Nellie: Other Notes

Architecture creates the program

example) the shape of a heart
Function=circulation
it is also a symbollic structure, love, etc.


FORM-->METAPHOR-->MEANING

A heart pumps blood,--> creating circulation
                                       -->circle-->circle of life

When you find the metaphor to the form, you have poetry
    FORM-->METAPHOR-->MEANING-->POETRY
