Abstract
Architecture is now manoeuvred in a different course, one we call designing emotion. Architects and designers as such are trained not only for ‘making’ buildings but also moulding human emotions. Architecture as a form of knowledge – rather a knowledge of form – makes us rethink the way we usually feel through buildings. The function of buildings in this regard is revolved neither within the traditional programmatic typology nor tectonic physicality but rather through a series of critical analysis for improving occupants’ emotional needs. The dialectic between form and space as a result is coordinated at once to: ‘rejuvenate’ social reality and provoke ambiguous ambience.
