    About this ebook

    There are eleven different architectural design processes assembled in the book, most of them in the conceptual phase. They are done in different times, for different clients, but with the same method. The verbal text is minimal; interested persons are asked to read the drawings, as they progressed as a first degree differentiation from spirit to matter. Intuition and rational thinking are attempted to be both active throughout the whole process. The depicted surfaces (the Spaceprints) provide the opportunity to simultaneously explore, analyze, and articulate the shape of space and nonspace. Both urban (macro) and building (micro) scales are developed in tandem, which is the most important observation, and the actual reason, of the book. All ink drawings are made by the author.

      Introduction

      In all of my earlier books* one can rightly discover a certain degree of obsession, related to the process of conception of an idea, which can govern the development of the physically manifested new element of our environment. Although the published processes contain this morphogenesis as they actually happen, let me copy a passage from the Thought Palaces, as my best attempt, to approach verbally this evolution:

      To channel the drawings as a first degree differentiation of spirit to matter, is a frightening, but exhilarating experience. We begin with the blessed ignorance of a child and unwavering conviction of the initiated. Our dreams repeatedly elude us, allowing but glimpses of veiled images, the veiled images of our willed reality. If we struggle faithfully, as a miracle, some unremembered imprints occur. We carry not even conceived questions in us for days, then, as sudden relieve, shape is formed from cloudy thoughts.

      These words were assembled more than ten years ago, but even today, I couldn’t be as precise, yet at the same time, as un-binding, by trying to grasp an ephemeral phenomenon. The Oxford American College Dictionary defines intuition as the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning, while cognitive psychology assumes the
