THROUGH THE SPACE OF REPRESENTATION III

Michael Davis & Sara Lee

Conceptualisation is the inception, development and projection of the ecology of
relationships, which define the architectural project. Conceptualisation occurs in the
space of representation, that is, in the conceptual space between the building and its
representation. (Evans, 1997, p.154) The task of the architect is not the representation of
(a pre-existing idea of) a building, but the conceptualisation-through-representation of a
building.
