This is my thesis for interior design.
I chose 3 topics to work with which are: (Symmetry, Sublime&Beautiful Catharsis)
My program is to redesign a 1992 huge house with an amazing view and private beach in a residential zone into 2 villas. The idea is the uses to be rented like a hotel with all services included. It can be consider a hospitality project. My kind of idea of a thesis statement is that in nature symmetry is most of the time associated with beauty. In Aesthetics, something that give pleasure is divided into two, the sublime and the beautiful. Therefore, theses two combined can create a cathartic emotion.
My intention is to create this retreat so visitors can have catharsis and learn how to practice catharsis that is something everyone needs in their daily life to deal with stress etc.
( As you will discover,my focal point is the human body)
These are the books I am using so you get a better understanding:
1.Why Beauty Is Truth: The History of Symmetry
2.A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful-Burke, Edmund
3.http://www.co-cornucopia.org.uk/coco/articles/cathars/contents.htm
4.Da Vinci’s Ghost: Genius, Obsession, and How Leonardo Created the World in His Own Image
5.Catharsis in Healing, Ritual, and Drama
