page109from Building IdeasTowards an Architecture of the Body
One writer who provides a stepping-stone
between the realms of philosophy and architecture also demonstrates the above
dilemma in the development of his own career. The French phenomenologist Gaston
Bachelard began as a philosopher of science, publishing a series of books on
contemporary scientific issues during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1938 he published
a book called The Psychoanalysis of Fire, which inaugurated a new direction in
his works and puzzled most of his former readers. The reason for the
consternation was Bachelard’s apparent rejection of his own principles –
instead of scientific methods of analysis, he now seemed to be more interested
in poetry. In fact, Bachelard set out to answer the problem Perez-Gomez tried
to answer (described above) that while science might provide precise
definitions of things, these no longer seemed to mean anything in terms of our
everyday experience. The notion that we understand things in terms of images,
or by “telling stories” about the world, became the major theme of Bachelard’s
subsequent research, which crossed over effectively into literary criticism. This
first work set out the literary sources for our understanding of the phenomenon
of fire, particularly the symbolic significance of different uses of fire and
the type of associations that went along with it. This book formed the first
part of a whole series on a similar theme, where Bachelard considered each of
the traditional four elements in turn and their potential to inspire
imagination and reflection. With books on air and water and a further two on
different aspects of the earth, he provided substantial evidence of the kind of
knowledge still expressed in art, with its direct appeal to the imagination. It
was the depth of meaning in the poetic image that held the key to Bachelard’s
interest, and the pursued this theme into the realm of architecture with his
1958 book The Poetics of Space.
This
work develops a range of ideas based on the poetic qualities of intimate
spaces, beginning with the house and its associated imagery as described in
literary sources. In the early chapters the house is considered in its idealized
form, as both a hermit’s hut and an image of the
