R4 - Spaces of Otium: Theory, Practice and Empirical Evidence of Modern and Contemporary ArchitectureLooking at public spaces of contemplation, exhibitions, spas and libraries, this project discussed how contemporary architecture intends to create an atmosphere of otium for those using it. Following a thorough analysis, our aim was to discuss the relevant theories, debates and terminology informing otiose architectural design. By introducing empirical research on the perception of space and time, this project added to traditional approaches to architecture. |
R5 - Waiting and Expecting in Spaces of Otium: An Empirical Study on the Connection between Expectation, Atmosphere and Sense of TimeProf. Dr. Roland ThomaschkeWaiting can be experienced in quite different emotional ways: as focused on time and full of impatience, or as enjoyable free time. Based on hypotheses inspired by the psychology of architecture, this project investigated how architectural design can create atmospheres in rooms which have a positive effect on the waiting experience. The question of expectancy was also addressed. The working hypothesis was that waiting tends to be experienced more positively the less it is linked to strong expectations regarding the immediate future after the period of waiting.
