Abstract
The term image is complex and full of personal interpretation and developed meaning. It is a loaded term; not necessarily a negative - it can be a positive, and at the very least surely should not be ignored. However, image in architecture can detract from the ongoing significance of a building. If the goal of architecture is to help us see in new ways, a building must resist an image association that is shallow and quickly grasped. There must be aspects of image that can make us want to experience a building again as architecture after our initial understanding and introduction to that building rather than just a destination. What makes us think of a building as architecture after we have a general understanding of that building? Can certain aspects of image be exploited to extend image and to create an ongoing architectural dialogue in a building?
