Emotive immersion through poem-drawing in spatial designBogdanova, Viktorija (Avtor) Zupančič, Tadeja (Mentor) Robinson, Paul (Komentor) poem-drawingemotive immersioncreational encounterpersonalitydesign-driven interpretationPoem-drawing is a process of perceiving, reflecting on, and re-creating spatial experience through simultaneously applied modalities of literary and visual expression. It is an instrument for in-depth reading and establishing ties with the place of research, through emotive immersion: an artistic device that transforms the understanding of the built surrounding, enriching it with a fresh perspective and a sensitivity enhanced by the inclusion of an architect’s emotional and spiritual intelligence as core instruments in the spatial evaluation processes. Poem-drawing is the “water” through which the personal responsibility to integrate what one is seeing with what one is being and doing is processed and absorbed inside the spatial interpretation itself, like a personalized language, constantly growing and changing. This dissertation aims to provide insight into the varieties of such person-specific language through 1) the works of architects that are/were operating with writing-drawing experiments; 2) the author’s own design-driven artifacts, processes, and collaborations through poem-drawing; and 3) the author’s pedagogical encounters through poem-drawing. The processes of critical thinking-through-making that unfold along the poem-drawing create the individuation of the language as a recognizable “voice.” The dissertation’s structure flows around the question of whether/when/how the presence of the personality (hypostasis) in that voice might creatively communicate with the multiplicity of other voices through the following cycles of sharing: self-cognition (sharing with the different personas inside oneself); self-extension (sharing with another poem-drawer through individually created artifacts); and self-abandonment (sharing with co-poem- drawers through collaboratively created artifacts).[V.
