Sketches and Thoughts - Gestalt Theory and De Stijl

















When I started to lay out my sketches and ideas for program - I started to realize that some of the "spaces" reminded me of of the De Stijl paintings. I began to think about the overlapping spaces would create.
Another thing I started to research was my interest in the Gestalt Psychology. With this I discover that the meaning of the Gestalt theory is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I thought this was unique because in Holistic medicine it is defined as being that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
I would like to use the Gestault Concept when laying out the program because I believe that together all the program together would produce something greater than just pieces of it.
For instance, Option A, program would be used in the circles and a courtyard would be used in the center. Our mind is connecting a triangle, when a triangle has not been drawn - hence the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
