In-Between: Remnant of a Wrinkle

Dever, Alexander J

Abstract Details

2014, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.

The in-between is the de-materialized remnant between states, producing gaps of intermediacy and transition, which act as thresholds for interaction. However, inhabitants seldom acclaim these spaces for use by propositioning their function for pragmatic necessities, expelling people from engaging with the space. These spaces need to be resurrected to promote their use for people, hence by inverting the process of space following building and shifting toward the notion of building following space, an element for interaction within the in-between can be revived. By means of defining the ‘in-between‘ and revealing how each is manifest, the specificity toward threshold and process can be further explored. This exploration will be further grounded in the relation between two poles and striving beyond a discontinuity to incorporate how a wrinkle can reflect the process and enhance the character of the in-between, notably how “the route is more important than any one place along it.”1 By augmenting the in-between, a space will be created for the growth of a community through events and interactions.
