page101from Building Ideas
in Heidegger’s writing into an
architectural dimension, when he describes the understanding of a room as more
than simply the space between four walls. As “equipment for residing” it
implies a series of activities and related objects, such as the ink-stand, pen,
paper, blotting pad, lamp, desk, chair and window that provide the example of
the writer’s study. These objects form an “arrangement” and provide a context
for our understanding, where each item implies the others which are also
necessary to the larger function of the room.
As
a means of understanding buildings in terms of their activities, this logic is
then extended into the natural domain, as Heidegger goes on to describe the
ways in which equipment provides information about the outside world. A railway
station with its covered platforms takes account of the local climate, and the
use of street lighting tells us something about the variation in daylight
through the year. Along with these environmental qualities there is the user,
whose presence is also implied by the item of equipment, as the interpretation
can be extended from the activity towards the person taking part in it.
While
on one hand the above analysis sets the two kinds of knowledge – action and
contemplation – in opposition to each other, Heidegger is also keen to
establish the necessary interaction between these two ways of engaging with the
world:
‘Practical’
behavior is not ‘atheoretical’ in the sense of ‘sightlessness’. The way it
differs from theoretical behavior does not lie simply in the fact that in
theoretical behavior one observes, while in practical behavior one acts, and
that action must employ theoretical cognition if it is not to remain blind; for
the fact that observation is a kind of concern is just as primordial as the
fact that action has its own kind of sight.4
This
notion of an “embodied” knowledge which comes from engaging with the world of
things forms the basis for contemplation in the projection of future
possibilities for action. This emphasis on the inter-relation between action
and contemplation is what gives Heidegger’s
