Rosalyn Deutsche theorizes that democracy and thus pluralism are necessary for the public sphere to exist. How can architecture position itself within this contradiction? By valuing the creative readings, rereadings, writings and rewritings of the user at the same level as the architects, pluralism can be encouraged (a mental pluralism). According to Marx, creative production is essential to the ontological sense of being yet it has been lost for many. By exploring the result of a shifted paradigm from that of encouraging creative physical occupation to the fostering of a creative mental use, architecture can negotiate its boundaries in the advanced capitalist society. This thesis proposes an architecture that values creative mental use, and explores the possibilities of achieving such through seven methods: Void/Gap, Montage/Fragmentation/Juxtaposition, Allegorical, Arbitrary/Ambiguous, Indexical, Self-Reference, and the Heterotopic. 2008-08-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212165514 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212165514 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
